Application Note

ARM Assignment Options
1- Disabled: Disables ARM calibration and reverts APs back to default channel and power settings.
2- Single Band: Enables the APs to change channels, in same band, and transmit power.
3- Multi Band: Currently not supported (for future use, selecting Multi Band automatically sets the
selection to Single Band)
4- Maintain: Causes APs to hold last used channel and power settings. Useful for customers
concerned with APs changing channel/power during use.
ARM Options
1- ARM Scanning: Enable ARM Scanning.
2- ARM Client Aware: Prevents AP from changing channel if clients are associated.
3- ARM Rogue AP Aware: If no other APs are on the same channel as the Rogue or no AM are
available the AP can change channel to contain a Rogue. An AP can always contain a rogue on
the same channel.
4- ARM VoIP Aware: Pauses ARM Scanning when a VoIP call is detected (SIP, SCCP, SVP,
Vocera)
5- ARM Multi Band Scan: Allows APs to scan across bands for Rogue detection. Should not be
enabled for dual band APs.
Best Practices:
1- ARM Scanning: Enabled.
2- ARM Client Aware: Disabled. Otherwise, AP cannot recalibrate around interference.
3- ARM Rogue AP Aware: optional. AP will change channel to contain a rogue AP. APs will
perform containment on-channel by default. AMs are still recommended for Rogue Containment.
4- ARM VoIP Aware: Enabled.
