Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a mechanism for Wi-Fi connections to use 5 GHz frequencies
that are normally reserved for non-Wi-Fi proposes. In addition to the standard non-DFS channels (36,
40, 44, and 48), your IX20Wcan be configured to have one or more Wi-Fi clients that can connect to
external Wi-Fi access points that support DFS channels:
DFS channels 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, and 144

Higher 5GHz non-DFS channels 149, 153, 157, 161, and 165

The Wi-Fi access point must also support connections on these channels.
If DFS functionality is enabled, the IX20Wmust be rebooted after saving the configuration changes to
re-initialize the Wi-Fi module.

If DFS functionality is enabled, any access points enabled on the IX20Wdevice will not be
started.
