5.4-GHz AP Cluster Limit Case
In the limit, the 11 channels could support all of the following, vertically stacked on the
same mast:
◦ 3 full clusters, each cluster using 3 channels
◦ a set of 4 APs, the set using the 2 channels that no AP in any of the 3 full
clusters is using
IMPORTANT!
Where regulations require you to have Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
enabled, analyze the spectrum, then spread your channel selections as evenly
as possible throughout this frequency band range, appropriately sharing it with
satellite services.
12.5.5 5.4‐GHzOFDMChannels
Channel selections for the Cyclone OFDM AP in the 5.4-GHz frequency band range
depend on whether the AP is deployed in cluster.
5.4-GHz BH and Single AP Available
OFDM modules are configured by the operator for channels, using the Configuration =>
Custom Frequencies page.
The channels of adjacent APs should be separated by at least XX MHz, especially for
APs to take advantage of 3X operation.
5.4-GHz AP Cluster Recommended Channels
The fully populated cluster may be configured for two or four channels. If configured for
two channels, each channel is reused by the module that is mounted 180° opposed.
The modules are pre-configured with channels which can be used as a starting point for
selecting the two or four for use in a full 4 AP cluster.
