Setting Description Defaults
Scan Interval If Scanning is enabled, the Scan Interval defines
how often the AP will leave its current channel to
scan other channels in the band.
Off-channel scanning can impact client performance.
Typically, the shorter the scan interval, the higher
the impact on performance. If you are deploying a
large number of new APs on the network, you may
want to lower the Scan Interval to help those APs find
their optimal settings more quickly. Raise the Scan
Interval back to its default setting after the APs are
functioning as desired.
Range: 0–2,147,483,647 seconds.
10 seconds
Active Scan When you enable Active Scan, an AP initiates active
scanning via probe request. This option elicits more
information from nearby APs, but also creates
additional management traffic on the network.
Active Scan is disabled by default, and should not be
enabled except under the direct supervision of
Alcatel-Lucent Support.
Disabled
ARM Over the Air
Updates
The ARM Over the Air Updates option allows an AP
to get information about its RFenvironment from its
neighbors, even the AP cannot scan. If this feature is
enabled, when an AP on the network scans a foreign
(non-home) channel, it sends other APs an Over-the-
Air (OTA) update in an 802.11 management frame
that contains information about the scanning AP's
home channel, the current transmission EIRP value
of its home channel, and one-hop neighbors seen by
that AP.
Default: enabled
Enabled
Scanning The Scanning checkbox enables or disables AP
scanning across multiple channels. Disabling this
option also disables the following scanning features:
n Multi Band Scan
n Rogue AP Aware
n Voip Aware Scan
n Power Save Scan
Do not disable Scanning unless you want to disable
ARM and manually configure AP channel and
transmission power.
Enabled
Multi Band Scan If enabled, single radio channel APs scans for rogue
APs across multiple channels. This option requires
that Scanning is also enabled.
(The Multi Band Scan option does not apply to APs
that have two radios, as these devices already scan
across multiple channels. If one of these dual-radio
devices are assigned an ARM profile with Multi Band
enabled, that device will ignore this setting.)
Disabled
