Description
The AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects a free
or relatively unused communication channel. This helps prevent
interference problems and increases network performance. By
default this feature is enabled. For a list of channels, see
Channel Frequencies
When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and
displays the Access Point's current operating channel. When Auto
Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Point's
operating channel. If you decide to manually set the unit's channel,
ensure that nearby devices do not use the same frequency (unless
you are setting up WDS links). Available Channels vary based on
regulatory domain. See
page 311.
Set to Large, Medium, Small, Microcell, or Minicell depending
on the site survey for your system. By default, this parameter is set
to Large. The distance value is related to the Multicast Rate. In
general, a larger distance between APs means that your clients
operate a slower data rates (on average). See
APs on page 73 and Multicast Rate
information.
Note:
The Multicast Rate parameter can be set only by
Note:
using the CLI. You cannot use the HTTP interface
to set the Multicast Rate.
Select a specific transmit rate for the AP. The values available
depend on the Operational Mode. Auto Fallback is the default
setting; it allows the AP to select the best transmit rate based on
the cell size.
