Configuring the Wireless AP 343
8. Auto Cell Period (seconds): You may set up auto-configuration to run
periodically, readjusting optimal cell sizes for the current conditions.
Enter a number of seconds to specify how often auto-configuration will
run. If you select None, then auto-configuration of cell sizing will not be
run periodically. You do not need to run Auto Cell often unless there are a
lot of changes in the environment. If the RF environment is changing
often, running Auto Cell every twenty-four hours (86400 seconds) should
be sufficient). The default value is None.
9. Auto Cell Size Overlap (%): Enter the percentage of cell overlap that will
be allowed when the AP is determining automatic cell sizes. For 100%
overlap, the power is adjusted such that neighboring APs that hear each
other best will hear each other at -70dB. For 0% overlap, that number is -
90dB. The default value is 50%.
10. Auto Cell Min Cell Size: Use this setting if you wish to set the minimum
cell size that Auto Cell may assign. The values are Default, Large,
Medium, or Small.
11. Auto Cell Min Tx Power (dBm): Enter the minimum transmit power that
the AP can assign to a radio when adjusting automatic cell sizes. The
default value is 10.
12. Auto Cell Max Rx Threshold (dBm): Enter the maximum receive
threshold that the AP can assign to a radio when adjusting automatic cell
sizes. The default value is -80.
To use the Auto Cell Size feature, any IAPs that will use Auto Cell must
have Cell Size set to auto.
For Auto Cell by Channel, it is not necessary for RF Monitor Mode to be
turned on, or for there to be a radio set to monitor mode. For Auto Cell by
Band, RF Monitor Mode must be set to Dedicated or Timeshare mode,
and there must be a radio set to monitor mode. See “RF Monitor” on
page 358.
