
Adaptive noise immunity: Controls radio sensitivity in the face of noise sources. Adaptive noise
immunity allows the AP to reject spurs and non-WLAN noise. An advantage is that the AP would have
to spend less time decoding the signal, resulting in lower packet loss rate.

Dynamic channel selection: Automatically switches channel to avoid interference. Dynamic channel
selection is feature to detect and avoid continuous wave (CW) interference. CW interference or spurs
cause the noise floor to be high. This stops transmissions as well as causes receives to fail frequently.
The noise floor is monitored by the calibration logic. When the noise floor is above a threshold, the
AP is performs an automatic channel selection. It would disconnect from the stations (it would
already have due to the interference) and move to a new channel. The stations are expected to
re-associate with the AP on their own.

2.4.5.2.1 General Setup

Mode: Selects whether the device is operating as:
»
Access Point
»
Access Point (WDS)
»
Station
»
Station WDS.
NOTE!
Setting more than 1 station on a board is not supported because there can only be one default
gateway. This is true even if a board has both an onboard radio and a card radio. Both radios cannot be
in Station mode at the same time.
