1Click Configuration > Wireless > DCS.

2Select Enable Dynamic Channel Selection to turn on this feature.

3Set the DCS Time Interval. This is how often the NWA3000-N series AP surveys the other APs within its broadcast radius. If you place your APs in an area with a large number of competing APs, set this number lower to ensure that your device can adjust quickly changing conditions.

4Select DCS Sensitivity Level. This is how sensitive the APs on your network are to other channels. Generally, as long as the area in which your AP is located has minimal interference from other devices you can set the DCS Sensitivity Level to Low. This means that the AP has a very broad tolerance.

5Select Enable DCS Client Aware. Select this so that the APs on your network do not change channels as long as any wireless clients are connected to them. When they must change channels, they will wait until all stations disconnect first.

6Set the 2.4-GHz Channel Selection Method to auto.

7Select a 2.4 GHz Channel Deployment scheme. Choose Three-Channel Deployment to have the device rotate through 3 channels. Choose Four- Channel Deployment to have the device rotate through 4 channels, if allowed.

8Click Apply to save your changes. See also: Chapter 9 on page 111.
