5 Restart DRM (resetting of channel and power).
6 Type of shaped coverage (standard versus shaped)
7 Max/Min RF power configuration
When DRM is enabled, both channel and transmit signal strength are automatically configured by
DRM. Upon power-up, DRM will scan the WLAN network to select a channel and set its power to
maximum. It will back-off its power to adjust for the presence of neighboring disabled DRM Access
Points.
The DRM application is enabled globally on the Summit WM Controller. This means that a Summit WM
Controller with the DRM software key will enable DRM on all APs with R2.1 or higher software. It is
also possible to configure DRM on a per AP basis. Figure 14 shows the configuration page when DRM
is enabled via software keys.
Figure 14: DRM global settings
This page allows the parameters of DRM to be configured for the entire system. The following settings
are available:
● Enable DRM – controls whether DRM is enabled or disabled for the entire system. This setting
overrides the setting on each individual AP.
● DRM on/off – controls whether DRM is enabled or disabled for a specific AP.
● Coverage – controls the selection of Standard or Shaped coverage mode for each AP.
● Avoid WLAN – controls whether Tx power is backed off in the presence of other WLAN networks
that are NOT part of the Summit WM Controller system (i.e. different SSID).
● Minimum Tx – allows the user to set the absolute minimum Tx level the AP will use.
● Maximum Tx – allows the user to set the absolute maximum Tx level the AP will use.
