Enabled or Disabled. Enable this OmniVista AirView Software
noise-monitoring parameter to have OmniAccess AP Access Points
avoid channels that have interference from non-Access Point
sources, such as microwave ovens or Bluetooth devices. Disable this
parameter to have AireView Director ignore this interference.
In certain circumstances with significant interference energy (dB)
from non-802.11 noise sources, AireView Director may adjust the
channel assignment to avoid these channels (and sometimes
adjacent channels) in OmniAccess AP Access Points close to the
noise sources to increase capacity and reduce variability for the
Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System.
Always Enabled. OmniVista AirView Software constantly monitors the
relative location of all OmniAccess AP Access Points within the RF/
mobility domain to ensure near-optimal channel re-use. The net
effect is an increase in Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System capacity
and a reduction in co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
MAC address of the channel assignment leader. In Alcatel Mobility
Groups or Alcatel WPS Groups, this is the MAC address of the Group
leader.
Last time the OmniVista AirView Software evaluated the current
channel assignment. This occurs on a periodic basis. This does not
imply that channels have changed, only that the AireView Director
has made an evaluation of the current assignment.
Dynamic transmit power assignment has three modes.
• Automatic - The transmit power is periodically updated for all
OmniAccess AP Access Points that permit this operation.
• On Demand - Transmit power is updated when the Invoke Power
Update Now button is selected.
• Fixed - No dynamic transmit power assignments occur and value
are set to their global default.
Default is Automatic.
These read-only parameters are used to fine tune the power control.
The transmit power control is trying to limit power so that at most
<neighbor count> OmniAccess AP Access Points receive the signal of
each OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 above a <power threshold>.
