8.3.1 Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel Assignment
By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off).
•
Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment. When automatic channel assign-
ment is enabled, the Channel Manager periodically maps radio channels used by
clustered access points and, if necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered APs to reduce
interference (with cluster members or other APs outside the cluster).
Note: Channel Management overrides the default cluster behaviour, which is to synchronize
radio channels of all APs across a cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the
radio Channel is not sync’d across the cluster to other APs. See the note under Radio
Settings in “Settings Shared In The Cluster Configuration” on page 57.
• Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel
re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.)
8.3.2 Viewing Current Channel Assignments And Setting Locks
The Current Channel Settings shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address.
The display shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting, the current channel used by
each AP, and an option to “lock” an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-
assigned to another. Details about Current Channel Settings are provided below.
