Setting

Description

Min Tx EIRP

Minimum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may also

 

specify a special value of 127 dBm for regulatory maximum to disable power adjustments for

 

environments such as outdoor mesh links. Note that power settings will not change if the Assignment

 

option is set to disabled or maintain. Higher power level settings may be constrained by local regulatory

 

requirements and AP capabilities. In the event that an AP is configured for a Min Tx EIRP setting it cannot

 

support, this value will be reduced to the highest supported power setting.

 

Default: 9 dBm

 

NOTE: Consider configuring a Min Tx Power setting higher than the default value if most of your APs are

 

placed on the ceiling. APs on a ceiling often have good line of sight between them, which will cause

 

ARM to decrease their power to prevent interference. However, if the wireless clients down on the floor

 

do not have such a clear line back to the AP, you could end up with coverage gaps.

 

 

Multi Band

If enabled, single radio channel APs scans for rogue APs across multiple channels. This option requires

Scan

that Scanning is also enabled.

 

(The Multi Band Scan option does not apply to APs that have two radios, as these devices already scan

 

across multiple channels. If one of these dual-radio devices are assigned an ARM profile with Multi Band

 

enabled, that device will ignore this setting.)

 

Default: disabled

 

 

Rogue AP

If you have enabled both the Scanning and Rogue AP options, Dell APs may change channels to contain

Aware

off-channel rogue APs with active clients. This security features allows APs to change channels even if

 

the Client Aware setting is disabled.

 

This setting is disabled by default, and should only be enabled in high-security environments where

 

security requirements are allowed to consume higher levels of network resources. You may prefer to

 

receive Rogue AP alerts via SNMP traps or syslog events.

 

Default: disabled

 

 

Scan Interval

If Scanning is enabled, the Scan Interval defines how often the AP will leave its current channel to scan

 

other channels in the band.

 

Off-channel scanning can impact client performance. Typically, the shorter the scan interval, the higher

 

the impact on performance. If you are deploying a large number of new APs on the network, you may

 

want to lower the Scan Interval to help those APs find their optimal settings more quickly. Raise the Scan

 

Interval back to its default setting after the APs are functioning as desired.

 

The supported range for this setting is 0–2,147,483,647 seconds.

 

Default: 10 seconds

 

 

Active Scan

When the Active Scan checkbox is selected, an AP initiates active scanning via probe request. This

 

option elicits more information from nearby APs, but also creates additional management traffic on the

 

network. Active Scan is disabled by default, and should not be enabled except under the direct

 

supervision of Dell Support.

 

Default: disabled

 

 

ARM Over the

The ARM Over the Air Updates option allows an AP to get information about its RF environment from its

Air Updates

neighbors, even the AP cannot scan. If this feature is enabled, when an AP on the network scans a

 

foreign (non-home) channel, it sends other APs an Over-the-Air (OTA) update in an 802.11 management

 

frame that contains information about the scanning AP's home channel, the current transmission EIRP

 

value of its home channel, and one-hop neighbors seen by that AP.

 

Default: enabled

 

 

Scanning

The Scanning checkbox enables or disables AP scanning across multiple channels. Disabling this option

 

also disables the following scanning features:

 

Multi Band Scan

 

Rogue AP Aware

 

Voip Aware Scan

 

Power Save Scan

 

Do not disable Scanning unless you want to disable ARM and manually configure AP channel and

 

transmission power.
