Auto Channel
Selection (ACS)
Enables a device to select the best channel for data transmission on the wireless medium,
with less interference. By default, ACS is disabled on a BSU/End Point A and enabled on an
SU/End Point B device. When ACS is enabled on a BSU/End Point A, it scans all the
channels and selects the best channel during the start up. If ACS is enabled on the SU/End
Point B, it continuously scans all the channels till it connects to a BSU or End Point A
respectively.
: Irrespective of the ACS status, the BSU/End Point A will automatically select a
new channel upon radar detection.
Preferred Channel Applicable only when the Auto Channel Selection (ACS) is disabled. This parameter
enables to select a specific channel (in the specified frequency domain) for the device to
operate.
Active Channel Displays the current active channel of operation. When the Auto Channel Selection
parameter is enabled or when the device moves to a different channel because of radar
detection, this parameter enables you to view the current operating channel.
