Parameter Description
Free Channel Index The difference in the interference index between the new channel and
current channel must exceed this value for the AP to move to a new
channel. The higher this value, the lower the chance an AP will move to
the new channel.
Backoff Time Time, in seconds, an AP backs off after requesting a new channel or
power level.
Error Rate Threshold The percentage of errors in the channel that triggers a channel
change.
Error Rate Wait Time Time, in seconds, that the error rate has to maintain or surpass the
error rate threshold before it triggers a channel change.
Channel Quality Aware Arm
Shows if ARMchanges are based on on channel quality and noise floor
values. If this parameter is disabled, only noise-floor values will be used
to change channels. Default: Disabled
Channel Quality Threshold
Displays the hannel quality percentage below which ARM initiates a
channel change.
Channel Quality Wait Time
If channel quality is below the specified channel quality threshold for
this wait time period, ARM initiates a channel change.
Minimum Scan Time Time, in seconds, that a channel must be scanned before it is
considered for assignment.
Load aware Scan Threshold The traffic throughput level an AP must reach before it stops scanning,
in bytes/second. A value of 0 to disables this feature.
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 (e.g. less than 60 feet apart).
Scan Mode This parameter defines the scan mode for the AP.
l all-reg-domain: The AP scans channels within all regulatory
domains. This is the default setting.
l reg-domain:Limit the AP scans to just the regulatory domain for
that AP.
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 or not 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
