Parameter Description
Background
spectrum
monitoring
Select Enabled to allow the W-IAPs in access mode to continue with normal access service
to clients, while performing additional function of monitoring RF interference (from both
neighboring W-IAPs and non Wi-Fi sources such as, microwaves and cordless phones) on the
channel they are currently serving clients.
Customize
ARMpower range
Select the check box and select a minimum (Min Power) and maximum (Max Power) power
range value for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band frequencies. The default value is 3 dBm. Unlike
the configuration in the ARM profile, the transmit power of all radios in the Radio profile do
not share the same configuration.
Very high
throughput
Ensure that this check box is selected to enable very high throughput (VHT) on 802.11ac
devices with 5 GHz radio. If VHT is enabled for the 5 GHz radio profile on a W-IAP, it is
automatically enabled for all SSIDs configured on a W-IAP. By default, VHT is enabled on all
SSIDs.
If you want the 802.11ac W-IAPs to function as 802.11n W-IAPs, clear the check box to
disable VHT on these devices.
