Displaying the Channel Management Settings

To view channel management information, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the main menu, select Cluster > Channel Management.

The Channel Management page is displayed, as shown in.Figure 27.

Figure 27. Channel Management Page

The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned
channel assignments for clustered access points. By default, automatic
channel assignment is disabled. You can start channel management to
optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled interval.

From this page, you can view channel assignments for all access points in
the cluster, stop/start automatic channel management, and manually
update the current channel map (access points to channels). When you do
a manual update, the Channel Manager assesses channel usage and, if
necessary, reassigns access points to new channels to reduce
interference based on the current Advanced settings.

Using the Advanced settings you can modify the interference reduction
potential that triggers channel reassignment, change the schedule for
automatic updates, and reconfigure the channel set used for assignments.
