Parameter Description
Scan Time
The amount of time, in
milliseconds, an AP will
drift out of the current
channel to scan another
channel. The supported
range for this setting is 0-
2,147,483,647 seconds.
Best practices are to
configure a scan time
between 50-200 msec.
VoIP Aware Scan
Shows if VoIP aware
scanning is enabled or
disabled. If you use voice
handsets in the WLAN,
VoIP Aware Scan should
be enabled in the ARM
profile so the AP will not
attempt to scan a different
channel if one of its clients
has an active VoIP call.
This option requires that
Scanning is also enabled.
Power Save Aware Scan
Shows if the power save
aware scan is enabled or
disabled. If enabled, the
AP will not scan a different
channel if it has one or
more clients and is in
power save mode.
Default: enabled
Ideal Coverage Index
The Dell coverage index
metric is a weighted
calculation based on the
RF coverage for all
DellAPs and neighboring
APs on a specified
channel. The Ideal
Coverage Index specifies
the ideal coverage that an
AP should try to achieve
on its channel. The denser
the AP deployment, the
lower this value should be.
Acceptable Coverage Index
For multi-band
implementations, the
Acceptable Coverage
Index specifies the
minimal coverage an AP it
should achieve on its
channel. The denser the
AP deployment, the lower
this value should be.
