Note: The specific syntax and options for the
set channel
command varies
depending on the type of radio being configured. Use the
/interface/
wifi-<n>-<m>/?
command to display the options and syntax that apply
to you.
The
set channel
command let you specify the channel settings for a Wi-Fi radio.
Use the
show available-config-options
command to display valid channel
numbers. The displayed values vary depending on the country of operation.
Refer to your RF plan and site survey to determine which value you should use.
CAUTION!
Improper setting of channel, antenna gain and transmit power may exceed
regulatory requirements and void the operator’s right to operate the radio
equipment. Refer to the
BelAir Radio Transmit Power Tables
to determine valid
combinations of channel, antenna gain and transmit power for your country.
If the unit is a member of a multipoint-to-multipoint mesh cluster, the channel
must be set to match the one used by the multipoint-to-multipoint mesh
cluster.
If a unit is equipped with many radios for backhaul, their channels must be
separated by at least 35 MHz (that is, seven channel numbers) to avoid radio
interference resulting in poor data communication quality. For example, channel
numbers 53 and 61 can be used together, but not 53 and 59.
