Reassess Channel Assignment Every
—The schedule for automated updates. A range of intervals is
provided, from 30 minutes to six months. The default is one hour, meaning that the channel usage is
reassessed and the resulting channel plan is applied every hour.
If you change these settings, click

When the Automatic Channel Assignment is enabled, the page shows the Channel Assignations table.
Channel Assignment Table
The
Channel Assignment Table
shows a list of all WAP devices in the Single Point Setup cluster by IP
address.
The table provides the following details on the channel assignments:
•
AP Location
—The physical location of the WAP device.
•
MAC Address
—The MAC address of the radio.
•
IP Address
—The IP address for the WAP device.
•
Radio Band
—The band on which the WAP device is broadcasting.
•
Up/Down
—Shows the status of the wireless radio in the WAP device. Some WAP devices may have
more than one wireless radio; each radio is displayed on a separate line in the table. The radio status is
up (operational) or down (not operational).
•
Current Channel
—The radio channel on which the WAP device is currently broadcasting.
•
Lock Current Channel
—When selected for a WAP device, the automated channel management plans
do not reassign the WAP device to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, the
WAP devices with locked channels are factored in as requirements for the plan.
•
Proposed Channel (xx Hours Ago)
—which is the radio channel to which this WAP device would be
reassigned if the channel plan is applied.
Click
Apply
to update the locked setting. The locked devices show the same channel for the Current Channel
Assignment table and the Proposed Channel Assignment table. The locked devices keep their current channels.
The proposed channels that are to be assigned to each WAP device when the next update occurs. The locked
channels are not reassigned—the optimization of channel distribution among the devices takes into account
that the locked devices must remain on their current channels. The WAP devices that are not locked may be
assigned to different channels than what they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan.
