to implement channel management.
You can use Advanced settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel reassignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and reconfigure the channel set used for assignments
Field
Description
Advanced | Click Advanced to show or hide display settings that modify | |
| timing and details of the channel planning algorithm. | |
| By default, advanced settings are hidden. | |
|
| |
Change channels if interference is reduced by at least | Specify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a | |
| proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The | |
| default is 25 percent. | |
| Use the list to select percentages ranging from 5 percent to | |
| 75 percent. | |
| This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel | |
| reassignment so that the network is not continually disrupted | |
| for minimal gains in efficiency. | |
| For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 | |
| percent and the proposed channel assignments will only | |
| reduce interference by 30 percent, then channels will not be | |
| reassigned. However; if you reset the minimal channel | |
| interference benefit to 25 percent and click Update, the | |
| proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels | |
| reassigned as needed. | |
|

Determine if there is better set of channels every | Specify the schedule for automated updates. | |
| A range of intervals is provided, from 1 minute to 6 months | |
| The default is 1 hour (channel usage assessed and the | |
| resulting channel plan applied every hour). | |
|

Use these channels when applying channel assignments | Choose a set of | |
| • | b/g channels |
| • | b/g channels |
| IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g modes support use of channels 1 | |
| through 11. For b and g radio bands, the classic set of non- | |
| interfering channels is 1, 6, and 11. Channels 1, 4, 8, and 11 | |
| produce minimal overlap. | |
