Displaying Configured BSAPs
After you have created BSAPs as described in "Creating BSAPs" on page 12-24 and as
BSAPs come online and connect to the BSC, you can view their status on the Wireless AP
tab. The tab presents a table that provides the following information about BSAPs that will
connect to the BSC (i.e., BSAPs for which you have created configurations) and BSAPs
that are currently connected to the BSC.
Note: You can review additional status information about BSAPs as well as APs from
vendors other than Bluesocket by clicking the Status tab followed by the Active
Connections tab, and then clicking the APs link at the top of the page. See "Monitoring
Connected Access Points" on page 15-4 for details.

calibration, BSAPs are run in Dynamic RF/Dual Mode for a configurable time (60
minutes by default), enabling the BSAPs to "sense" the RF environment and adjust
channel and power settings so that there are not channel conflicts or power overlap
with adjacent APs. A Calibration ETA column is added to the AP table that indicates
the estimated time calibration will be completed. After the calibration is complete, the
BSAPs are set back to AP mode (if originally was configured for AP mode), Dynamic
RF is disabled on the BSC, and the final settings are locked in. The default calibration
time period, along with several other Dynamic RF settings, is configurable on the AP
Service page, as explained in "Advanced Settings for Dynamic RF" on page 12-27.
