Table 17. RF Channel Plan and Power Adjustment

Field	Description
Channel Plan	Before you configure channel plan settings, select the mode to configure.

Channel Plan	This field indicates the channel assignment mode. The mode of channel plan
Mode	assignment can be one of the following:
	• Fixed Time—If you select the fixed time channel plan mode, you
	specify the time for the channel plan and channel assignment. In this
	mode the plan is applied once every 24 hours at the specified time.
	• Manual—With the manual channel plan mode, you control and initiate
	the calculation and assignment of the channel plan. You must manually
	run the channel plan algorithm and apply the channel plan to the APs.
	• Interval—In the interval channel plan mode, the switch periodically
	calculates and applies the channel plan. You can configure the interval
	to be from every 6 to every 24 hours. The interval period begins when
	you click Submit.

Channel Plan	The channel plan history lists the channels the switch assigns each of the APs
History Depth	it manages after a channel plan is applied. Entries are added to the history
	regardless of interval, time, or channel plan mode.
	The number you specify in this field controls the number of iterations of the
	channel assignment.
	NOTE: The APs changed in previous iterations cannot be assigned new
	channels in the next iteration. This history prevents the same APs from being
	changed time after time.

Channel Plan	If you select the Interval channel plan mode, you can specify the frequency
Interval	at which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The interval
	time is in hours, and you can specify an interval that ranges between every 6
	hours to every 24 hours.

Channel Plan	If you select the Fixed Time channel plan mode, you can specify the time at
Fixed Time	which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The channel plan
	calculation will occur once every 24 hours at the time you specify.
