Stopping or
Starting
Automatic
Channel
Assignment
By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off).
To start or stop channel management, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Cluster > Channel Management.
The Channels page is displayed, as shown in Figure 27 on page 72.
2. Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment.
When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel
Manager periodically maps radio channels used by clustered access
points and, if necessary, reassigns channels on clustered access
points to reduce interference (with cluster members or other access
points outside the cluster).
Note
Channel Management overrides the default cluster behavior, which
is to synchronize radio channels of all access points across a
cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the radio Channel
is not synchronized across the cluster to other access points. See
the note under Radio Settings in “Settings Shared in the Cluster
Configuration” on page 45.
3. Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage
maps or channel reassignments are made. Only manual updates
affect the channel assignment.)
