Parameter Description
Scanning
Select Enabled so that the IAP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its
802.11 regulatory domain at regular intervals and reports to the IAP. This scanning
report includes WLAN coverage, interference, and intrusion detection data.
NOTE: For client match configuration, ensure that scanning is enabled.
Wide Channel
Bands
Select a band to allow the APs to be placed in 40Mhz (wide band) channels. The
Wide channel band allows administrators to configure 40 MHz channels in the 2.4
GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. 40 MHz channels are two 20 MHz adjacent channels that
are bonded together. 40 MHz channel effectively doubles the frequency bandwidth
available for data transmission.
80 MHz Support Enables or disables the use of 80 MHz channels on APs. This feature allows ARM to
assign 80 MHz channels on APs with 5GHz radios, which support a very high
throughput. This setting is enabled by default.
NOTE: Only the APs that support 802.11ac can be configured with 80 MHz
channels.
2. Reboot the IAP.
