• Min Tx Power – If ATPC is enabled, click the minimum Tx power level to
which the range of transmit power can be adjusted: 0 to 23 (b/g or b/g/n)
or 24 (a or a/n) dBm. It is recommended to use 0 dBm to not limit the
potential Tx power level range that can be used.
• Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust – If ATPC is enabled, click the Tx power level
that can be used to adjust the ATPC power levels that the system has
assigned. It is recommended to use 0 dBm during your initial
configuration. If you have an RF plan that recommends Tx power levels
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
Plan dialog displays. By default, all channels participate in the
channel plan. Click the individual channels you want to include in the
channel plan. To select contiguous channels, use the Shift key. To
select multiple, non-contiguous channels in the list, use the CTRL
key. Click OK to save the configuration.
For Radio 2, click one of the following:
• 3 Channel Plan – ACS will scan the following channels: 1, 6, and 11
in the US, and 1, 7, and 13 in Europe.
• 4 Channel Plan – ACS will scan the following channels: 1, 4, 7, and
11 in the US, and 1, 5, 9, and 13 in Europe.
•Auto
– ACS will scan the default channel plan channels: 1, 6, and 11
in the US, and 1, 5, 9, and 13 in Europe.
