Enabled – This enables the Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) feature.
ACS allows the radio to scan the entire band (governed by the Country
setting) and chooses a channel with the lowest channel occupancy i.e.
lowest interference level. To run the ACS feature (once enabled), the
radio will have to be rebooted or manually triggered using Tools-
>Automatic Channel Selection. When ACS is running, the radio
measures the occupancy level of the channel (measured in terms of an
internal interference metric) and uses an algorithm to make a decision
to choose the best channel within the band. The channel chosen is not
based just on the occupancy level channel but also the occupancy level
of adjacent channels.
Disabled – ACS is disabled and the operator should configure a
Frequency Carrier manually.
Note
The channel bandwidth configured prior to enabling and running ACS
will be used to automatically select a channel. For ex: If the operator
manually configured a channel bandwidth of 20MHz, ACS will scan and
choose a channel of 20MHz wide channel. To switch ACS to 40MHz or
other channel bandwidth, the operator should disable ACS, manually
configure 40MHz or desired channel bandwidth on the radio, then
enable and run ACS.
Configure the channel size for which the radio needs to scan the band.
Configure the minimum time in milliseconds for which the radio needs
to scan a channel to measure channel occupancy or interference levels.
Default is 200 ms.
Configure the maximum time in milliseconds for which the radio needs
to scan a channel to measure channel occupancy or interference levels.
Default is 300 ms.
