to update the switch with the values on the screen. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a
power cycle you must perform a save.
Viewing the Channel Plan History
The D-Link Unified Switch stores channel assignment information for the APs it manages. To access the Channel Plan
History information, click the
AP Management > RF Management > Channel Plan History
tab.

Channel Plan
Interval
If you select the
Interval
channel plan mode, you can specify the frequency at which the
channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The interval time is in hours, and you can
specify an interval that ranges between every 6 hours to every 24 hours.
Channel Plan Fixed
Time
If you select the
Fixed Time
channel plan mode, you can specify the time at which the channel
plan calculation and assignment occurs. The channel plan calculation will occur once every
24 hours at the time you specify.
Power Adjustment
Mode
You can set the power of the AP radio frequency transmission in the AP profile, the local
database or in the RADIUS server. The power level in the AP profile is the default level for the
AP, and the power will not be adjusted below the value in the AP profile.
The settings in the local database and RADIUS server always override power set in the profile
setting. If you manually set the power, the level is fixed and the AP will not use the automatic
power adjustment algorithm.
You can configure the power as a percentage of maximum power, where the maximum power
is the minimum of power level allowed for the channel by the regulatory domain or the
hardware capability.
• Manual
—In this mode, you run the proposed power adjustments manually from the
Manual
Power Adjustments
page.
• Interval
—In this mode, the switch periodically calculates the power adjustments and applies
the power for all APs. The interval period begins when you click
Submit
.
Note:
If you set the power level in the local or RADIUS database, the settings override the
power level set in the AP profile.
For more information about manually setting the power level, see
“Configuring Wireless Radio
Settings” on page 81
and
“Configuring Valid Access Point Settings” on page 101
.
Power Adjustment
Interval
This field determines how often the switch runs the power adjustment algorithm. The algorithm
runs automatically only if you set the power adjustment mode to
Interval
.
