|
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|
| DCS Sensitivity Level | Select the NWA’s sensitivity level toward other channels. |
|
|
| Options are High, Medium, and Low. |
|
|
| Generally, as long as the area in which your NWA is located |
|
|
| has minimal interference from other devices you can set the |
|
|
| DCS Sensitivity Level to Low. This means that the NWA has |
|
|
| a very broad tolerance. |
|
|
| If you are not sure about the number and location of any other |
|
|
| devices in the region, set the level to Medium just to be safe. |
|
|
| The NWA’s tolerance for interference is relatively narrow. |
|
|
| On the other hand, if you know there are numerous other |
|
|
| devices in the region, you should set the level to High to keep |
|
|
| the |
|
|
| tolerance for interference is quite draconian. |
|
|
| Note: The higher the sensitivity level, the more frequently |
|
|
| the NWA switches channels. As a consequence, |
|
|
| anyone connected to the NWA will experience more |
|
|
| frequent disconnects and reconnects. |
|
|
|
|
|
| DCS Client Aware | Select Enable to have the NWA wait until all connected clients |
|
|
| have disconnected before switching channels. |
|
|
| If you select Disable then the NWA switches channels |
|
|
| immediately regardless of any client connections. In this |
|
|
| instance, clients that are connected to the AP when it switches |
|
|
| channels are dropped. |
|
|
|
|
|
| DCS Allow Channel List | Select the range of |
|
| (2.4G only) | which you want the NWA to scan and subsequently use if |
|
|
| available. |
|
|
|
|
|
| DCS DFS Channel | Select Enable to allow the NWA to broadcast on unused radar |
|
| Aware (5G only) | channels. If you select Disable to turn the feature off. See |
|
|
| Section 8.3.2 on page 145 for more information on dynamic |
|
|
| frequency. |
