Setting Description Defaults
l None: Do not assign 160 MHz channel
bandwidth. This is the default value.
Max Tx EIRP Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP)
from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may
also specify a special value of 127 dBm for
regulatory maximum. Higher power level settings
may be constrained by local regulatory
requirements and AP capabilities. In the event that
an AP is configured for a Max Tx EIRP setting it
cannot support, this value will be reduced to the
highest supported power setting.
NOTE: Power settings will not change if the
Assignment option is set to disabled or maintain.
In 6.4.4.0 and later
releases:
l default-a: 18 dBm
l default-g: 9 dBm
In earlier 6.4.x
releases:
l default: 127dBm
Min Tx EIRP Minimum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP)
from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may
also specify a special value of 127 dBm for
regulatory maximum to disable power adjustments
for environments such as outdoor mesh links. Note
that power settings will not change if the
Assignment option is set to disabled or maintain.
Higher power level settings may be constrained by
local regulatory requirements and AP capabilities.
In the event that an AP is configured for a Min Tx
EIRP setting it cannot support, this value will be
reduced to the highest supported power setting.
Consider configuring a Min Tx Power setting
higher than the default value if most of your APs
are placed on the ceiling. APs on a ceiling often
have good line of sight between them, which will
cause ARM to decrease their power to prevent
interference. However, if the wireless clients down
on the floor do not have such a clear line back to
the AP, you could end up with coverage gaps.
In 6.4.4.0 and later
releases:
l default-a: 12 dBm
l default-g: 6 dBm
In earlier 6.4.x
releases:
l default: 9dBm
Client Match The client match feature helps optimize network
resources by balancing clients across channels,
regardless of whether the AP or the controller is
responding to the wireless clients' probe requests.
If enabled, the controller compares whether an AP
has more clients than its neighboring APs on other
channels. If an AP’s client load is at or over a
predetermined threshold as compared to its
immediate neighbors, or if a neighboring Dell AP
on another channel does not have any clients, load
balancing will be enabled on that AP. This feature is
enabled by default. For details, see Client Match on
page 451.
