Setting Description Defaults
Range: 0-100%
Channel Quality Wait
Time
If channel quality is below the specified channel
quality threshold for this wait time period, ARM
initiates a channel change.
Range:1-3600 seconds
120 seconds
Minimum Scan Time Minimum number of times a channel must be
scanned before it is considered for assignment.
Range: 0–2,147,483,647 scans. It is recommended
to use a Minimum Scan Time between 1–20
scans.
8 scans
Load Aware Scan
Threshold
Load aware ARM preserves network resources
during periods of high traffic by temporarily halting
ARM scanning if the load for the AP gets too high.
The Load Aware Scan Threshold is the traffic
throughput level an AP must reach before it stops
scanning.
Range: 0–20,000,000 bytes/second. (Specify 0 to
disable this feature.)
1250000 Bps
Mode Aware ARM If enabled, ARM will turn APs into Air Monitors
(AMs) if it detects higher coverage levels than
necessary. This helps avoid higher levels of
interference on the WLAN. Although this setting is
disabled by default, you may want to enable this
feature if your APs are deployed in close proximity
(less than 60 feet apart).
Mode aware ARM turns Air Monitors back into APs
when they detect gaps in coverage. Note that an
Air Monitor will not turn back into an AP if it detects
client traffic (or client traffic increases), but will
change to an AP only if it detects coverage holes.
Disabled
Scan Mode By default, 802.11n-capable APs scan channels
within all regulatory domains. To limit the AP scans
to just the regulatory domain for that AP, click the
Scan Mode drop-down list and select reg-domain.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to APs that do
not support 802.11n; these APs will scan their
regulatory domain only.
al-reg-domain
Video Aware Scan As long as there is at least one video frame every
100mSec the AP will reject an ARM scanning
request. Note that for each radio interface, video
frames must be defined in one of two ways:
l Classify the frame as video traffic via a session
ACL.
