Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) Page
Use this page to configure alternate channels that the radio uses to automatically re-establish the link in
the event of qualified radar detection (for DFS enabled radios) or if the trigger parameters are
exceeded. Define up to ten alternate channels. Up to five channels can be enabled at the same time.
Figure 42 Automatic Channel Selection page
ACS is disabled by default to prevent accidental interference to other systems in the vicinity or impact
multi-site frequency planning in the event of a channel switch, particularly in collocated environments
designed to operate on the same channel or predefined traffic asymmetry configurations.
Enable ACS to configure alternate channels. Enter the desired frequency for up to ten alternate
channels. Only up to five channels can be enabled at any time. Clicking Update saves the settings and
pushes the configuration to the other radio on the link if the link is currently operating in both
directions. ACS configuration is not enabled until the ACS option on the System Configuration Page
is
selected and Update selected.
Note: To preserve the link, both Radio A and Radio B must have ACS enabled
and the channel frequency settings must match. If only one radio has ACS enabled
and an ACS event is detected, that radio will switch channels and the other radio will not, and
the link will be lost.
Note: If an event is detected that triggers ACS, traffic is interrupted.
