Using Automatic Channel Assignments

The automatic channel assignment feature can improve the performance

of your wireless network because it tests for interference on the radios of

the access points in the cluster and automatically changes the channel

assignments of the radios to reduce or eliminate the interference. The

feature can test for interference between members of the cluster as well as

between cluster and non-cluster members. You may specify the potential

interference reductions that initiate a channel reassignment as well the

timing of the tests.

Note

Enabling and configuring automatic channel assignments are

shared procedures for the access points of a cluster. Configuring the

feature on one unit configures it on all units.

To configure automatic channel assignments for the access points of the

cluster, perform the following procedure:

1. Select Channel Management from the Cluster menu.

The access point displays the “Automatically manage channel

assignments” window. The example of the window in Figure 30 is of a

cluster of two access points.

Figure 30. Automatically Manage Channel Assignments Window

This is how the window is displayed when automatic channel

assignment is disabled. The Current Channel Assignments table

lists the radios of the cluster and their channel assignments. The

columns in the table are described in Table 13 on page 104.
