3. Select Channel Plan Mode. There are three type of modes:
• Manual - With the manual channel plan mode, you control and initiate the calculation and
assignment of the channel plan. You must manually run the channel plan algorithm and apply
the channel plan to the APs.
• Interval - In the interval channel plan mode, the controller periodically calculates and applies the
channel plan. You can congure the interval to be from every 6 to every 24 hours. The interval
period begins when you click Save.
• Fixed Time - If you select the xed time channel plan mode, you specify the time for the channel
plan and channel assignment. In this mode the plan is applied once every 24 hours at the specied
time.
4. Channel Plan Interval: If you select the Interval channel plan mode, you can specify the frequency at
which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The interval time is in hours, and you can
specify an interval that ranges between every 6 hours to every 24 hours.
5. Channel Plan Fixed Time: If you select the Fixed Time channel plan mode, you can specify the time
at which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The channel plan calculation will occur
once every 24 hours at the time you specify.
6. Ignore Unmanaged APs: This function indicates whether the controller should pay attention only to
APs managed by the cluster, or all detected APs when deciding the channel for the radio. The setting is
enabled by default.
7. Channel Change Threshold: Congure the detected neighbor signal strength that triggers the
channel plan to re-evaluate the current operation channel. If the operating channel detects neighbor
APs operating on the same channel with signal below this threshold,then the AP does not try to select
a new channel for the radio. The default value for this threshold is -82dBm. The range is -99dBm to
-1dBm.
8. Managed AP CH Conict Threshold: This is the threshold, in dBm, below which managed APs that
have a conicting channel compared to the Channel Plan will have their channel updated. Once the
controller channel interference calculation is done, AP will prepare to change the radio to the less
interference channel.
9. Manual Channel Plan: If you select Manual, click on the Manual Channel Plan tab. Here you can apply
and start the channel algorithm on selected access points.
10. Channel Plan History: This eld shows whether the controller is using the automatic channel
adjustment algorithm on the AP 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio.
