Configuring a Radio Profile 249

4To change the interval at which radios reduce power after temporarily increasing the power to maintain the minimum data rate for an associated client, change the value in the Tx. Power Backoff Timer box.

At the end of each power-backoff interval, radios that temporarily increased their power reduce it by 1 dBm. The power backoff continues in 1 dBm increments after each interval until the power returns to expected setting.

You can specify from 0 to 65535 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.

5To enable automatic configuration and tuning of the channel, select Yes next to Tune Channel. This feature is enabled by default.

6To change the interval at which RF Auto-Tuning decides whether to change the channels on radios in a radio profile, change the value in the Channel Tuning Interval box.

At the end of each interval, MSS processes the results of the RF scans performed during the previous interval, and changes radio channels if needed.

You can specify from 0 to 65535 seconds. The default channel interval is 3600 seconds. 3Com recommends that you use an interval of at least 300 seconds (5 minutes). If you set the interval to 0, RF Auto-Tuning does not reevaluate the channel at regular intervals. However, RF Auto-Tuning can still change the channel in response to RF anomalies.

7To change the minimum number of seconds a radio in a radio profile must remain at its current channel assignment before RF Auto-Tuning can change the channel, change the value in the Channel Tuning Holddown box.

The channel holddown provides additional stability to the network by preventing the radio from changing channels too rapidly in response to spurious RF anomalies such as short-duration channel interference.

You can specify from 0 to 65535 seconds. The default channel interval is 900 seconds.

8Do one of the following:

„To map the radio profile to a service profile, click Next and see “To map the radio profile to a service profile”.

„To configure other radio profile parameters, click a button at the top of the wizard.

„To close the wizard and save the changes, click Finish.
