Description

 

 

Auto Channel

The AP scans the area for other

Select

Access Points and selects a free or relatively

 

unused communication channel. This helps

 

prevent interference problems and increases

 

network performance. By default this feature

 

is enabled. See 802.11a Channel

 

Frequencies for a list of Channels.

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

 

You cannot disable Auto Channel Select for 802.11a

 

 

products in Europe (see Dynamic Frequency

 

 

Selection (DFS) for details).

 

 

Frequency

When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this

Channel

field is read-only and displays the

 

Access Point’s current operating Channel.

 

When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you

 

can specify the Access Point’s channel. If

 

you decide to manually set the unit’s

 

Channel, ensure that nearby devices do not

 

use the same frequency. Available Channels

 

vary based on regulatory domain. See

 

802.11a Channel Frequencies.

 

Note that you cannot manually set the

 

channel for 802.11a products in Europe (see

 

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for

 

details).
