ConfiguringAdvancedSettings
Theadvancedsettingsallowyoutocustomizeandschedulethechannelplanforthecluster.IfyouuseChannel
Managementasprovided(withoutupdatingAdvancedSettings),channelsareautomaticallyfine‐tunedonce
everyhourifinterferencecanbereducedby25percentormore .Channelswillbere‐assignedevenif
the
networkisbusy.Theappropriatechannelsetswillbeused(b/gforAPsusingIEEE802.11b/gandaforAPsusing
IEEE802.11a).
Thedefaultsettingsaredesignedtosatisfymostscenarioswhereyouwouldneedtoimplementchannel
management.
UseAdvancedSettingstomodifytheinterferencereductionpotentialthat
triggerschannelre‐assignment,
changethescheduleforautomaticupdates,andre‐configurethechannelsetusedforassignments.Ifthereare
nofieldsshowingintheAdvancedsection,clickthetogglebuttontodisplaythesettingsthatmodifytiming
anddetailsofthechannelplanningalgorithm.
ClickApplyunderAdvanced

Usethedrop‐downmenutochoosepercentagesrangingfrom5percentto

Forexample,ifchannelinterferencemustbereducedby75percentandthe
proposedchannelassignmentswillonlyreduceinterferenceby30percent,
thenchannelswillnotbere‐assigned.However;if
youre‐settheminimal

channelplanwillbeimplementedandchannelsre‐assignedasneeded.
