the background and triggers ACS to perform an Auto Scan Function to select the channel with lowest interference and
dynamically switches to the new channel.
The DCS is triggered under the following conditions:
1. Dynamic channel change required (Radar Detection and Configuration change)
2. Poor Condition of the current operating channel
NOTE: If the AP finds all the channels are busy in a two hour period, DCS no longer changes channels automatically and
sends a trap message.
Figure 4-14 DCS Trap Message in the Status Page
The Access Point monitors the current channel for interference and errors. The DCS Threshold controls how
aggressively the Access Point changes the channels. The lowest value of the DCS Threshold is 1 which means channel
switch would happen even for minimum interference and the highest value (10) means the channel has to be significantly
bad. A value of "10" in the DCS threshold dropdown indicates a less Aggressive system and "1" indicates a high
aggressiveness index. Higher the value is lesser the Agressive Index showing an inversely proportional ratio.
