Data pane item Description
CUSTOMIZE
VALID
CHANNELS
Select this to customize valid channels for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. By default, the AP
uses valid channels as defined by the Country Code (regulatory domain). On
selecting CUSTOMIZE VALID CHANNELS , a list of valid channels for both 2.4.GHz
and 5 GHz are displayed. The valid channel customization feature is disabled by
default.
MINIMUM
TRANSMIT
POWER
Specify the minimum transmission power. The value specified for MINIMUM
TRANSMIT POWER indicates the minimum EIRP from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm
increments. If the minimum transmission EIRP setting configured on an AP is not
supported by the AP model, this value is reduced to the highest supported power
setting. The default value is for minimum transmit power is 18 dBm.
MAXIMUM
TRANSMIT
POWER
Specify the maximum transmission power. The value specified for MAXIMUM
TRANSMIT POWER indicates the maximum EIRP from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm
increments. If the maximum transmission EIRP configured on an AP is not supported
by the AP model, the value is reduced to the highest supported power setting. The
default value for maximum transmit power is 127 dBm.
CLIENTAWARE Select Enabled to allow ARRM to control channel assignments for the APs with
active clients. When the CLIENT AWARE mode is set to Disabled, an AP may
change to a more optimal channel, which disrupts current client traffic. The CLIENT
AWARE option is Enabled by default.
SCANNING Select Enabled so that the AP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its
802.11 regulatory domain at regular intervals and reports to the AP. This scanning
report includes WLAN coverage, interference, and intrusion detection data.
NOTE: For HP MotionAware configuration, ensure that scanning is enabled.
WIDE CHANNEL
BANDS
Select a band to allow the APs to be placed in 40 MHz (wide band) channels. The
WIDE CHANNEL BAND allows administrators to configure 40 MHz channels in the
2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. 40 MHz channels are two 20 MHz adjacent channels
that are bonded together. 40 MHz channel effectively doubles the frequency band-
width available for data transmission.
For high performance, you can select 5 GHz. If the AP density is low, enable in the
2.4 GHz band.
80 MHz
SUPPORT
Enables or disables the use of 80 MHz channels on APs. This feature allows ARRM
to assign 80 MHz channels on APs with 5 GHz radios, which support a very high
throughput. This setting is enabled by default.
NOTE: Only the APs that support 802.11ac can be configured with 80 MHz
channels.
