Nortel Networks 2300 Series manual Set radio-profile auto-tune channel-holddown

290AP Commands

Even when RF Auto-Tuning for channels is enabled, WSS Software does not change the channel on radios that have active client sessions, unless you use the no-clientoption.

RF Auto-Tuning of channels on 802.11a radios uses only the bottom eight channels in the band (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64). To use a higher channel number, you must disable RF Auto-Tuning of channels on the radio profile the radio is in, and use the set ap radio channel command to statically configure the channel.

Examples The following command disables dynamic channel tuning for radios in the rp2 radio profile:

WSS# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune channel-config disable

success: change accepted.

set radio-profile auto-tune channel-holddown

Sets 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. 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.

Syntax set radio-profile name auto-tune channel-holddown holddown

name	Radio profile name.
rate	Minimum number of seconds a radio must remain on its current channel
	setting before RF Auto-Tuning is allowed to change the channel. You can
	specify from 0 to 65535 seconds.

Defaults The default RF Auto-Tuning channel holddown is 900 seconds. Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software Version 3.0.

Usage The channel holddown applies even if RF anomalies occur that normally cause an immediate channel change.

Examples The following command changes the channel holddown for radios in radio profile rp2 to 600 seconds:

WSS# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune channel-holddown 600

success: change accepted.
