Running And Applying A Manual Channel Plan; Figure 441: Fixed Channel Plan - D-Link DWL-8600AP User Manual

D-Link UWS User Manual
The ACA algorithm is enabled by default on each radio, but the default channel plan mode is manual. This
means by default, the administrator must manually trigger the ACA algorithm. To configure the switch to run
the ACA algorithm automatically, go to the WLAN > Administration > AP Management > RF Management
page and configure the channel plan mode as Fixed Time (once per day) or Interval (once every 6–24 hours).
Note: D-Link recommends that you run the ACA algorithm (either manually or periodically) when
WLAN traffic is low because wireless clients must briefly disassociate from any radio that changes its
channel.
Figure 441 shows a channel plan that is configured to run at 3:15 AM every day.

Running and Applying a Manual Channel Plan

The following procedures describe how to run and apply the channel plan manually.
1. Go to the WLAN > Administration > AP Management > RF Management page and note the Channel Plan
Mode setting.
The default mode is Manual. If the mode is Fixed Time or Interval, you cannot run the ACA algorithm manually.
