The maximum legal transmit power is greater for some 5-GHz channels than for others. When the

controller randomly selects a 5-GHz channel on which power is restricted, it automatically reduces
transmit power to comply with power limits for that channel.

Using DFS, the controller monitors operating frequencies for radar signals. If it detects radar signals on
a channel, the controller takes these steps:

Optimizing RFID Tracking on Access Points

To optimize the monitoring and location calculation of RFID tags, you can enable tracking optimization
on up to four channels within the 2.4-GHz band of an 802.11b/g access point radio. This feature allows
you to scan only the channels on which tags are usually programmed to operate (such as channels 1, 6,
and 11).
You can use the controller GUI or CLI to configure the access point for monitor mode and to then enable
tracking optimization on the access point radio.

Using the GUI to Optimize RFID Tracking on Access Points

Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to optimize RFID tracking.

It changes the access point channel to a channel that has not shown radar activity within the last 30
minutes. (The radar event is cleared after 30 minutes.) The controller selects the channel at random.
If the channel selected is one of the channels in
for 60 seconds. If there are no radar signals on the new channel, the controller accepts client
associations.
It records the channel that showed radar activity as a radar channel and prevents activity on that
channel for 30 minutes.
It generates a trap to alert the network manager.
