DESCRIPTION
Select this option to turn on the auto healing feature.
Click this button to have all manged APs immediately scan their neighborhoods three
times in a row and update their neighbor lists to the AP controller (NXC).
Set the time interval (in minutes) at which the managed APs scan their neighborhoods
and report the status of neighbor APs to the AP controller (NXC).
An AP is considered "failed" if the AP controller obtains the same scan result that the AP is
missing from the neighbor list of other APs three times.
Set the power level (in dBm) to which the neighbor APs of the failed AP increase their
output power in order to extend their wireless service coverage areas.
When the failed AP is working again, its neighbor APs return their output power to the
original level.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NXC.
