Automatic Channel Selection

The CODA-4x8x's Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) feature enables the wireless

module to scan the wireless network environment, discover the channel on which

interference is least present, and use that channel automatically for wireless

communications on the relevant network.

Environmental analysis and channel selection occurs when the CODA-4x8x's

wireless network first starts (when the relevant wireless network's radio channel is

already set to Auto mode), when Auto mode is first selected, when the Refresh

button is pressed, or under certain specific circumstances when Dynamic Channel

Change is enabled (see

5.1.3.2

When wireless client devices are capable of operating on both the 2.4GHz band and

the 5GHz band, it is generally desirable for them to connect to the CODA-4x8x on the

5GHz wireless network, due to the likelihood of there being less interference on that

band. When enabled, band steering does this by detecting whether wireless clients

are also 5GHz-capable and, if so, encouraging the client to connect on the 5GHz

wireless network rather than the 2.4GHz wireless network.
