71 | Customizing IAP Settings Aruba Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0 | User Guide
ARM is enabled on Instant by default. It automatically assigns appropriate channel and power settings for the
IAPs. For more information on ARM, see Adaptive Radio Management on page 253.
Configuring ARM-Assigned Radio Profiles for an IAP
To enable ARM-assigned radio profiles:
1. On the Access Points tab, click the IAP to modify.
2. Click the edit link.
3. Click the Radio tab. The Radio tab details are displayed.
4. Select the Access mode.
5. Select the Adaptive radio management assigned option under the bands that are applicable to the IAP
configuration.
6. Click OK.
Configuring Radio Profiles Manually for IAP
When radio settings are assigned manually by the administrator, the ARMī¢is disabled.
To manually configure radio settings:
1. On the Access Points tab, click the IAP for which you want to enable ARM.
2. Click the edit link.
3. Click the Radio tab.
4. Ensure that an appropriate mode is selected.
By default, the channel and power for an IAP are optimized dynamically using ARM. You can override ARM on
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and set the channel and power manually if desired. The following table describes
various configuration modes for an IAP:
Mode Description
Access
In Access mode, the IAP serves clients, while also monitoring for rogue IAPs in the
background.
If the Access mode is selected, perform the following actions:
1. Select Administrator assigned in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band sections.
2. Select appropriate channel number from the Channel drop-down list for
both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band sections.
3. Enter appropriate transmit power value in the Transmit power text box in 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz band sections.
Monitor
In Monitor mode, the IAP acts as a dedicated monitor, scanning all channels for
rogue IAPs and clients. You can set one radio on the Monitor mode and the other
radio on the access mode, so that the clients can use one radio when the other one is
in the Air Monitor mode.
Spectrum Monitor
In Spectrum Monitor mode, the IAP functions as a dedicated full-spectrum RF
monitor, scanning all channels to detect interference, whether from the neighboring
IAPs or from non-WiFi devices such as microwaves and cordless phones.
