Figure 28 – Auto Channel Settings
The auto-channel function is a great technique to minimize interference between access points. With
auto-channel selection enabled the P-520r will regularly scan the air for neighboring access points and
selects the channel with the least expected interference. The range of scanned channels can be
limited by the administrator.
Do not use auto-channels when using WDS, otherwise the access points will not be
able to communicate between each other wirelessly.
