Wireless Access Point
342 Configuring the Wireless AP
environment. In this case, it will pick a set of compatible channel
assignments at random.
The following options may be selected for auto configuration:
• Negotiate: negotiate air-time with other APs before performing a full
scan.
• 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.
6. Set Cell Size/ Autoconfigure: Cell Size may be set globally for all
802.11b/g IAPs to auto, large, medium, small, or max using the drop
down menu.
For an overview of RF power and cell size settings, please see “RF Power
and Sensitivity” on page 360, “Capacity and Cell Sizes” on page 36, and
“Fine Tuning Cell Sizes” on page 37.
7. Auto Cell By Channel: By default, this feature is On, and auto cell will
adjust the cell size for a radio when nearby APs have radios on the same
channel within earshot of each other, so that the two radios minimize
interference with each other. If this option is unchecked, then auto cell
will adjust the cell size for a radio when nearby APs have radios on the
same band, even if they are using different channels (called Auto Cell by
Band, or Multichannel Auto Cell). This will result in smaller cell sizes. See
“Fine Tuning Cell Sizes” on page 37.
On the XR-500/600 and XR-1000 Series, 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 Timeshare Mode again - see “RF
Monitor” on page 358.
