Configuring the Wireless AP 363
• Full Scan: perform a full traffic scan on all channels on all IAPs to
determine the best channel allocation.
• Non-Radar: give preference to channels without radar-detect. See
table in “Procedure for Configuring Global 802.11an IAP Settings” on
page 334.
• Include WDS: automatically assign 5GHz to WDS client links.
Click Factory Defaults if you wish to instruct the AP to return all IAPs to
their factory preset channels. APs do not use the same factory preset
values for channel assignments. Instead, if the AP has been deployed for
a while and already has data from the spectrum analyzer and Xirrus
Roaming Protocol about channel usage on neighboring APs, it performs a
quick auto channel using that information (without doing a full RF scan)
to make an intelligent choice of channel assignments. If the AP has been
rebooted and has no saved configuration or is just being deployed for the
first time, it has no prior data about its RF environment. In this case, it
will pick a set of compatible channel assignments at random.
15. Auto Channel Configuration Mode: This option allows you to instruct
the AP to auto-configure channel selection for each enabled IAP when the
AP is powered up. Choose On AP PowerUp to enable this feature, or
choose Disabled to disable this feature.
16. Auto Channel Configure on Time: This option allows you to instruct the
AP to auto-configure channel selection for each enabled IAP at a time you
specify here. Leave this field blank unless you want to specify a time at
which the auto-configuration utility is initiated. Time is specified in hours
and minutes, using the format: [day]hh:mm [am|pm]. If you omit the
optional day specification, channel configuration will run daily at the
On XR-500/600 and XR-1000 Series models, the Factory Defaults button
will not restore iap1 to monitor mode. You will need to restore this setting
manually. Also, you may need to set RF Monitor Mode to Timeshare
Mode again - see “RF Monitor” on page 358.
