Chapter 22 Dynamic Channel Selection
NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

DCS Sensitivity Level Select the NWA’s sensitivity level toward other channels.
Options are High, Medium, and Low.
Generally, as long as the area in which your NWA is located
has minimal interference from other devices you can set the
DCS Sensitivity Level to Low. This means that the NWA has
a very broad tolerance.
If you are not sure about the number and location of any other
devices in the region, set the level to Medium just to be safe.
The NWA’s tolerance for interference is relatively narrow.
On the other hand, if you know there are numerous other
devices in the region, you should set the level to High to keep
the cross-interference to a minimum. In this case, the NWA’s
tolerance for interference is quite draconian.
Note: The higher the sensitivity level, the more frequently
the NWA switches channels. As a consequence,
anyone connected to the NWA will experience more
frequent disconnects and reconnects.
DCS Client Aware Select Enable to have the NWA wait until all connected clients
have disconnected before switching channels.
If you select Disable then the NWA switches channels
immediately regardless of any client connections. In this
instance, clients that are connected to the AP when it switches
channels are dropped.
