Every Cisco unit uses a proprietary distributed-channel switching
algorithm. If the UNII2 plug-in is installed, and a TDWR radar transmission
is detected:
• The algorithm will attempt to switch communicating Cisco units
to the next radar-free channel, allowing uninterrupted
communications with no radar interference.
• The number of detected radars is reported in the command-line
interface (CLI).
The number of TDWR transmissions detected by the unit is shown in the
command-line interface (CLI), and in
“The device status view” (page 134)
.
To enable the use of U-NII-2A, U-NII-2C and U-NII-2E frequency bands on
the unit, do the following steps:
1.
Contact your Cisco Networks representative to obtain the theDFS
plug-in (part number
FM-UNII2
) free of charge.
2.
Install the UNII2 plug-in as shown in
3.
When you activate the UNII2 plug-in through the Cisco
Partner Portal, you will be prompted to point out the exact
location where the unit will be installed.
• The Partner Portal will verify that there are no TDWR radar
installations within 40 miles (64 Km) of the Cisco unit.If no
TDWR radar installations are found, the plug-in willgrant
permission for the unit to be set to frequencies withinthe
5.250 GHz-to-5.350 GHz band, and the 5.470 GHz-
to-5.725 GHz band.
• If the unit is already set to an operating frequency that is
within the above frequency bands, a banner will appear in
the Configurator UI, recommending that you contact
Cisco Support to request the
FM-UNII2
plug-in, and
verify the location of the unit.

consequential or special damages, whether based on

channel width functionality and/or UNII2 functionality.
7.4.3. Antenna-alignment tools and physical statistics
The
ANTENNA ALIGNMENT AND STATS
window contains controls to
monitor current and average radio link status during operation of the unit,
allowing you to easily adjust the alignment of the unit's antennas.
