6 Managing and Maintaining D-Link Access Points

The Current Status of the plan shows one of the following states:

None—The channel plan algorithm has not been manually run since the last switch reboot.

Algorithm In Progress—The channel plan algorithm is running.

Algorithm Complete—The channel plan algorithm has finished running. A table displays to indicate proposed channel assignments. Each entry shows the AP along with the current and new channel. To accept the proposed channel change, click Apply. You must manually apply the channel plan for the proposed assignments to be applied.

Apply In Progress—The switch is applying the proposed channel plan and adjusting the channel on the APs listed in the table.

Apply Complete—The algorithm and channel adjustment are complete.

After the channel plan runs, a table shows any APs that the algorithm recommends for new channel assignments. The current channel shows the current operating channel, and the new channel shows the proposed channel. To apply the new channels, click Apply. If no APs appear after the algorithm is complete, the algorithm does not recommend any channel changes.

It is possible for the network configuration to change between the time the automatic channel selection runs and the time you attempt to apply the proposed channel assignments.

The channel will fail to be applied to an AP if one of the following conditions exist:

The AP has failed.

The radio on the AP has been disabled through a profile update.

The channel is not valid for the radio mode.

The AP has been rebooted since the channel plan was computed and acquires a static channel that has been set statically via local database.

The channel has been set manually through the advanced page.

The auto-channel mode has been disabled in the profile for this AP.

Initiating Manual Power Adjustments

If you select Manual as the Power Adjustment Mode on the Configuration tab, you can manually initiate the power adjustment algorithm on the Manual Power Adjustments page.
