Table 20: Defaults for Auto-RF parameters

Parameter Default Value Radio Behavior When Parameter
Set To Default Value
Radio profile parameters
channel-config enable When the radio is first enabled,
Auto-RF sets the channel based on the
channels in use on neighboring access
points.
channel-interval 3600 Every 3600 seconds, WSS Software
examines the RF information gathered
from the network and determines
whether the channel needs to be
changed to compensate for RF changes.
channel-holddown 900 WSS Software maintains the channel
setting on a radio for at least 900
seconds regardless of RF changes.
channel-lockdown disabled WSS Software continues to
dynamically change channels if needed
based on network conditions.
power-config disable WSS Software uses the highest power
level allowed for the country of
operation or the highest supported by
the hardware, whichever is lower.
power-interval 300 Every 300 seconds, WSS Software
examines the RF information gathered
from the network and determines
whether the power needs to be changed
to compensate for RF changes.
power-lockdown disabled WSS Software continues to
dynamically change power settings if
needed based on network conditions.
power-ramp-interval 60 When Auto-RF determines that power
should be increased or decreased, WSS
Software changes the power by 1 dBm
every 60 seconds until the power setting
is reached.
