Auto Radio Frequency (RF) and Power Management
In this section, you can demo auto power and auto channel assignments. The Auto RF demos rely on the controller response time
which is locked in at 600 seconds (10 minutes). Patience is required for some of the RF changes to occur.
Auto Power and DCA
STEP 1.
For this demonstration use Web UI interface on the controller. Connect to the controller Web UI interface IP address
192.168.10.50 ( in our case the IP address of the controller management interface). Login into the controller with username
= admin and password = cisco
STEP 2. In the controller GUI interface go to wireless>802.11b/g > RRM >auto RF and you will see all the default options. These
options are preset and should not be changed.
STEP 3. In the controller GUI interface go to wireless>802.11b/g > RRM >DCA you can see all the channels that have been
selected. There are three channels selected 1, 6, 11 – these are the non-overlapping channels do not change that setting.
STEP 4. In the section you can also choose the country of operation – please select the desired country here under the 802.11 b/g >
Country setting.
Note The APs should be setup in a six foot by six foot grid with the WLC526 in the center of the grid. For the best
demonstration results 3 to 4 LAPs 521 should be used. For RRM to function effectively at least 3 LAP 521 should
be used at the same time.
STEP 5. Disconnect one of the APs from the Ethernet ports
STEP 6. Look in the CCA under Monitor>Wireless Radios some of the transmit power settings should change from the lowest
value of 1*
STEP 7. The radio settings can be also observed under the Web UI under the Wireless>Radios>802.12b/g > Tx Power Level
