5.4-GHz AP Cluster Limit Case

In the limit, the 11 channels could support all of the following, vertically stacked on the same

mast:

• 3 full clusters, each cluster using 3 channels

• a set of 4 APs, the set using the 2 channels that no AP in any of the 3 full clusters is using

IMPORTANT!

Where regulations require you to have Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

enabled, analyze the spectrum, then spread your channel selections as evenly

as possible throughout this frequency band range, appropriately sharing it with

satellite services.

5.4-GHz OFDM Channels

Channel selections for the PMP 400 Series AP in the 5.4-GHz frequency band range depend on

whether the AP is deployed.

5.4-GHz Single OFDM AP Available Channels

Operators configure the channels of OFDM modules on their

Configuration => Custom Frequencies web pages. The available center channels for an individual

OFDM AP (not in cluster) depends on the region where the AP is deployed and are in the ranges

quoted in Table 33.
