Application Note

How ARM works
The Access Points constantly scan other channels during dead intervals.
1. Access Points analyzes BSSIDs and interference seen on channels currently in use, as well as
other channels.
2. Access Points reports back to switch when a better channel is found. (“Better” is defined as “least
number of APs seen on a channel” or “better SNR statistics”)
4. Switch analyzes reports from APs and makes calculations based on known WLAN topology
database.
5. If switch finds no conflicts, it will instruct AP to move to the new channel.
6. Dampening factor prevents channel “flapping”.
