Viewing Last Proposed Set Of Changes
The Last Proposed Set of Channel Changes shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all
access points in the cluster by IP Address, and shows the current and proposed channels for
each AP. Locked channels will not be re-assigned and the optimization of channel distribu-
tion among APs will take into account the fact that locked APs must remain on their current
channels. APs that are not "Locked" may be assigned to different channels than they were
previously using, depending on the results of the plan.

Configuring Advanced Settings (Customizing/Scheduling Channel Plans)
If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating Advanced Settings), chan-
nels are automatically fine-tuned once every hour if interference can be reduced by 25% or
more. Channels will be re-assigned even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets
will be used ('b/g' for APs using IEEE 802.11b/g and 'a' for APs using IEEE 802.11a).
Description
Click Locked if you want to this access point to remain on the current channel.
When the "Locked" checkbox is checked (enabled) for an access point, automated channel management
plans will not re-assign the AP to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, APs with
locked channels will be factored in as requirements for the plan.
If you click Update, you will see that locked APs show the same channel for "Current Channel" and "Pro-
posed Channel". Locked APs will keep their current channels.
Description
Specifies the
IP Address
for the access point.
Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.
Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the Channel Plan is executed.
