Channel Planning; Configuration - HP M210 Configuration And Administration Manual

Signal
The strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the AP.
This measurement is known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), which is indicated by
a value ranging from 0 to 100. RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the
wireless interface of the client.
Rx total
The number of total packets received by the client during the current session.
Tx total
The number of total packets transmitted to the client during the current session.
Error rate
The percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission to or from this client.

Channel planning

When channel planning is enabled, the M210 automatically assigns radio channels used by
clustered APs. Automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with
other APs outside of its cluster) and maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain the efficiency
of communication over the wireless network.
You must start channel planning to get automatic channel assignments. It is disabled by default.
At a specified interval, the channel manager maps APs to channel use and measures
interference levels in the cluster. If significant channel interference is detected, the channel
manager automatically reassigns some or all of the APs to new channels according to an
efficiency algorithm (or automated channel plan). If the channel manager determines that a
change is necessary, it sends the new channel assignments to all members of the cluster and
generates a syslog message that indicates the sender AP and the new and old channel
assignments.
The Cluster > Channel planning page shows previous, current, and planned channel
assignments for clustered APs. You can start channel planning to optimize channel usage
across the cluster on a scheduled interval.
Note
This page displays channel planning fields only if clustering is enabled on the Cluster >
Configuration page.
