Configuring the Altitude AP
NOTE
If you disable ATPC, you can elect to maintain using the current Tx power setting ATPC had established. If you
elect to maintain using the ATPC power setting, the displayed Current Tx Power Level value becomes the new
Max Tx Power value for the Altitude AP.
Current Tx Power Level - This field is view only. It displays the actual Tx power level assigned
to the Altitude 802.11n AP radio.
Channel Plan - If ACS is enabled, you can define a channel plan for the Altitude AP. Defining a
channel plan allows you to limit which channels are available for use during an ACS scan. For
example, you may want to avoid using specific channels because of low power, regulatory
domain, or radar interference. Click one of the following:
All channels - ACS will scan all the channels for an operating channel.
Custom - If you want to configure individual channels from which the ACS will select an
operating channel, click Configure. The Add Channels dialog is displayed. Click the
individual channels you want to add to the channel plan while pressing the CTRL key, and
then click OK.
NOTE
You can use the channel plan to avoid transmission overlap on 40MHz channels of the Wireless 802.11n APs.
For more information, see
Dynamic Channel Selection - To enable Dynamic Channel Selection, click one of the following:
Monitor Mode - If traffic or noise levels exceed the configured DCS thresholds, an alarm is
triggered and an information log is generated.
Active Mode - If traffic or noise levels exceed the configured DCS thresholds, an alarm is
triggered and an information log is generated. In addition, the Altitude AP will cease
operating on the current channel and ACS is employed to automatically select an alternate
channel for the Altitude AP to operate on.
DCS Noise Threshold - Type the noise interference level, measured in dBms, after which ACS
will scan for a new operating channel for the Altitude AP if the threshold is exceeded.
