Description

CUSTOMIZE

Select this to customize valid channels for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. By default, the AP

VALID

uses valid channels as defined by the Country Code (regulatory domain). On

CHANNELS

selecting CUSTOMIZE VALID CHANNELS , a list of valid channels for both 2.4.GHz

 

and 5 GHz are displayed. The valid channel customization feature is disabled by

 

default.

 

 

MINIMUM

Specify the minimum transmission power. The value specified for MINIMUM

TRANSMIT

TRANSMIT POWER indicates the minimum EIRP from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm

POWER

increments. If the minimum transmission EIRP setting configured on an AP is not

 

supported by the AP model, this value is reduced to the highest supported power

 

setting. The default value is for minimum transmit power is 18 dBm.

 

 

MAXIMUM

Specify the maximum transmission power. The value specified for MAXIMUM

TRANSMIT

TRANSMIT POWER indicates the maximum EIRP from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm

POWER

increments. If the maximum transmission EIRP configured on an AP is not supported

 

by the AP model, the value is reduced to the highest supported power setting. The

 

default value for maximum transmit power is 127 dBm.

 

 

CLIENT AWARE

Select Enabled to allow ARRM to control channel assignments for the APs with

 

active clients. When the CLIENT AWARE mode is set to Disabled, an AP may

 

change to a more optimal channel, which disrupts current client traffic. The CLIENT

 

AWARE option is Enabled by default.

 

 

SCANNING

Select Enabled so that the AP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its

 

802.11 regulatory domain at regular intervals and reports to the AP. This scanning

 

report includes WLAN coverage, interference, and intrusion detection data.

 

NOTE: For HP MotionAware configuration, ensure that scanning is enabled.

 

 

WIDE CHANNEL

Select a band to allow the APs to be placed in 40 MHz (wide band) channels. The

BANDS

WIDE CHANNEL BAND allows administrators to configure 40 MHz channels in the

 

2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. 40 MHz channels are two 20 MHz adjacent channels

 

that are bonded together. 40 MHz channel effectively doubles the frequency band-

 

width available for data transmission.

 

For high performance, you can select 5 GHz. If the AP density is low, enable in the

 

2.4 GHz band.

 

 

80 MHz

Enables or disables the use of 80 MHz channels on APs. This feature allows ARRM

SUPPORT

to assign 80 MHz channels on APs with 5 GHz radios, which support a very high

 

throughput. This setting is enabled by default.

 

NOTE: Only the APs that support 802.11ac can be configured with 80 MHz

 

channels.
