Configuring a Channel Plan
If ACS or Smart RF is enabled you can define a channel plan for the AP. Defining a channel plan allows
you to control which channels are available for use during an ACS or Smart RF scan. For example, you
may want to avoid using specific channels because of low power, regulatory domain, or radar
interference.
•
For 5 GHz Radio nodes, click one of the following:
•
All channels — ACS or Smart RF scans all channels for an operating channel and, when ACS or
Smart RF is triggered, the optimal channel is selected from all available channels.
•
All Non-DFS Channels — ACS or Smart RF scans all non-DFS channels for an operating channel.
The AP selects the best non-DFS channel.
•
Custom — To configure individual channels from which to select an operating channel, click
Configure . The Custom Channel Plan dialog displays. Click the individual channels you want to
include in the channel plan. To select contiguous channels, use the Shift key. To select multiple,
non-contiguous channels in the list, use the CTRL key. Click
OK to save the configuration.
•
Extended Channel with Weather— ACS or Smart RF selects the best channel from the available
channels list. Selected channel may be DFS, weather-radar DFS or non-DFS. Weather-radar
channels are approved for selected AP models in selected countries. Consult the compliance
information for the selected AP.
The weather channel includes 5600-5650MHz sub-bands and requires a listening period
before the AP can provide wireless service. During the listening period, the Current Channel
field for DFS channels displays the value
DFS Timeout , and the weather channel fields display
DFS Timeout . In Europe, the listening period can be up to 10 minutes. In the U.S., this period is
1 minute.
•
For 2.4 GHz Radio nodes, click one of the following:
•
3 Channel Plan — ACS scans the following channels: 1, 6, and 11 in North America, and 1, 7, and 13
in the rest of the world.
•
