Edit Entries to the Channel Blacklist Table
In accordance with ETSI, IC, and FCC non-occupancy rules, when interference is detected on any active channel,
that channel will be blacklisted. The channel will not be used for a period of 30 minutes after the interference has been
detected. The elapsed time is also shown in the DFS channel blacklist table. When the elapsed time for a channel in
the blacklist is greater than or equal to 30 minutes, the blacklist status of the channel will change to Disable.
If an operator knows in advance on which channels interference is likely to exist, those channels can be blacklisted
and hence they will be skipped during DFS. Similarly, if the operator knows of channels where interference is unlikely
to be detected, those channels can be defined as active and hence they will be scanned during DFS. This makes the
process more efficient.
When you click Edit, the channel blacklist table screen appears. Here you can manually configure each channel as
“active” (Blacklist Status = Disable) or “blacklisted” (Blacklist Status = Enable). Enter your changes and click OK. To
go back, click on the arrow icon.
