Selecting Available

You can configure the 802.11a radio on a MAP to allow certain channels

Channels on the

to be available or unavailable. To enable this feature, use the following

802.11a Radio

command:

set radio-profile name auto-tune 11a-channel-range {lower-bands all bands}

Changing Channel Tuning Settings

If you select lower-bands, MSS selects a channel from the lower eight bands in the 802.11a range of channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, or 64.

If you select all-bands, MSS selects a channel from the entire 802.11a range of channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157, or 161.

Disabling or Reenabling Channel Tuning

RF Auto-Tuning for channels is enabled by default. To disable or reenable the feature for all radios in a radio profile, use the following command:

set radio-profile name auto-tune channel-config {enable disable} [ignore-clients]

The ignore-clientsoption allows MSS to change the channel on a radio even if the radio has active client sessions. Without this option, MSS does not change the channel unless there are no active client sessions on the radio.

To disable channel tuning for radios in the rp2 radio profile, type the following command:

WX1200# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune channel-config disable

success: change accepted.
