Configuring Wireless LANs 55
Chapter 6
z ARM algorithm is based on what the AP hears which means that the sys-
tem can compensate for scenarios like broken antenna and blocked signal
coverage on neighboring APs.
z Since channel decisions are based on the information the AP receives from
the RF environment, interference due to third-party APs are accounted for.
z ARM compliments Alcatel’s next generation AOS-W architecture.
Configuring ARM
1. ARM configuration has to be enabled on the radio PHY- type under Radio
or under
Advanced. ARM can be enabled per AP or under the global setting.
Navigate to the Wireless LAN > Radio > 802.11b/g page to enable ARM on the b/g
radio.
2Set

ARM.
NOTE—The Multi Band option is currently unavailable and is planned to be made
available in future releases. Until then, selecting the
Multi Band option sets
the selection to
