cell sizes are to be adjusted so that they are contained in each room. The goal is for
stations to associate to the AP located in the same room with them.
Figure 15. Auto Cell Size Options
Multichannel Auto Cell is configured by turning off Auto Cell by Channel in
“Procedure for Configuring Global 802.11an IAP Settings” on page 334 for the
5GHz band, and in “Procedure for Configuring Global 802.11b/g IAP Settings”
on page 341 for the 2.4GHz band. Note that Multichannel Auto Cell is run
separately for each band. Thus, to optimize cell size of both 2.4G and 5G, the
Auto Cell function should be run once for each of these pages. APs must be at
least 15 feet apart for Auto Cell to work properly.
If you are installing many units in proximity to each other, we recommend that
you use Auto Cell Size; otherwise, reduce the transmit power using manual
settings to avoid excessive interference with other APs or installed APs. See also,
“Coverage and Capacity Planning” on page 34.
Sharp Cell
This patented Xirrus RF management option automatically creates more
intelligently defined cells and improves performance by creating smaller, high-
throughput cells. By dynamically limiting each cell to a defined boundary (cell
size), the trailing edge bleed of RF energy is reduced, thus minimizing
interference between neighboring Wireless APs or other Access Points. To enable
the Sharp Cell feature, go to “RF Power and Sensitivity” on page 360.
