for each Wireless AP, compare the actual Tx power levels your system
has assigned against the recommended values your RF plan has
provided. Use the Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust value to achieve the
recommended values.
• Channel Plan – If ACS is enabled, you can define a channel plan for the
Wireless AP. Defining a channel plan allows you to limit which channels
are available for use during an ACS scan. For example, you may want to
avoid using specific channels because of low power, regulatory domain,
or radar interference.
For Radio 1, click one of the following:
• All channels – ACS scans all channels for an operating channel and
returns both DFS and non-DFS channels, if available.
• All Non-DFS Channels – ACS scans all non-DFS channels for an
operating channel. This selection is available when there is at least
one DFS channel supported for the selected country.
•Custom – To configure individual channels from which the ACS will
select an operating channel, click Configure. The Custom Channel

select multiple, non-contiguous channels in the list, use the CTRL
