The Wireless Management Software will wait for the next scheduled channel allocation to adjust the channel.

Usage-aware RF Management: If this Enable radio button is selected, the Wireless Management Software will not modify the channel for an access point that is switching more than 1Mbps of wireless data traffic.

Run Channel Allocation every: Specify weekly schedule for running channel allocation.

Run Channel Allocation now: Press button to run channel allocation immediately.

Mode Settings: Specify the radio mode preference to set on the access points.

Most access points are configured with the fastest mode by default. You can use the Mode Settings field to change this. For example, you could specify that an access point that supports wireless-n mode run in b/g mode in order to support clients that do not support wireless n technology.

2.4GHz or 5GHz band selection: This selection affects only dual band access points that can only be set to one band at a time such as the WNDAP330. You can use this field to specify which band the access point should use.

Note: For dual concurrent access points, both radio modes are enabled by default.
