Configuring the AP

Once the country has been configured (Country Config) on the AP Installation screen the channel can be set manually or automatically.

2.Configure the AP system settings as required:

Channel Specifies the channel that is requested by all associated MUs when associating with this particular access point.

Auto Channel

Normally run once during initial installation.

Select

1. Power up the AP and select Auto Channel

 

Select (ACS). Press <spacebar> or

 

<-/->to enable or disable. To save

 

configuration, select F1.

 

2. On the next power up, the AP scans all

 

channels and selects a non-overlapping

 

channel with the fewest APs. The AP saves

 

the channel in FLASH (the power LED

 

flashes during this process) and turns off

 

ACS. The AP flashes its LEDs as if powering

 

up and returns to a STATUS-flashing state

 

when complete.

 

Non-overlapping channels have 25Mhz

 

separation beginning at the first allowed channel

 

for the country (for the US and most of Europe,

 

channels 1, 6 & 11 are used). The channel

 

selection process groups all APs heard over RF

 

into non-overlapping bands. Then compares the

 

quantities of APs with received signal strengths

 

above the average signal strength. Ties are

 

broken based on the AP's MAC address.
