Current Channel Read-only. The actual channel the ACS has assigned to the
Wireless AP radio. The Current Channel value and the Last
Requested Channel value may be different because the ACS
automatically assigns the best available channel to the Wireless
AP, ensuring that a Wireless AP’s radio is always operating on the
best available channel.
Last Requested Channel Read-only. The last wireless channel that you had selected to
communicate with the wireless devices.
Request New Channel Click the wireless channel you want the Wireless AP to use to
communicate with wireless devices.
Click Auto to request the ACS to search for a new channel for the
Wireless AP, using a channel selection algorithm. This forces the
Wireless AP to go through the auto-channel selection process
again.
Note: ACS in the 2.4GHz radio band with 40MHz channels is not
recommended due to severe co-channel interference.
Depending on the regulatory domain (based on country), some
channels may be restricted. The default value is based on North
America. For more information, see Appendix B.
Auto Tx Power Ctrl (ATPC) Select to enable ATPC. ATPC automatically adapts transmission
power signals according to the coverage provided by the Wireless
APs. After a period of time, the system will stabilize itself based on
the RF coverage of your Wireless APs. The APs should be part of
the same RF Domain to function properly.
Note: If you disable ATPC, you can still choose to maintain using
the current Tx power setting ATPC had established. If you elect to
maintain using the ATPC power setting, the displayed Current Tx
Power Level value becomes the new Max Tx Power value for the
Wireless AP.
Current Tx Power Level The actual Tx power level used by the Wireless AP radio.
Max Tx Power Click the maximum Tx power level to which the range of transmit
power can be adjusted: 0 to 24 dBm. Siemens recommends that
you select 24 dBm to use the entire range of potential Tx power.
Note: In reality, the lowest achievable power level is 5 dBm for the
Wireless 802.11n APs. If you assign a lower value, it will
automatically default to the lowest achievable level.
Min Tx Power If ATPC is enabled, click the minimum Tx power level to which the
range of transmit power can be adjusted. Siemens recommends
that you select the lowest value available to use the entire range
of potential Tx power.
Note: The Minimum Tx Power level is subject to the regulatory
compliance requirement for the selected country.
