7 Clustering Multiple Access Points Configuring and Viewing Channel Management Settings • 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, re-assigns channels on clustered access points to reduce interference with cluster members or other access points outside the cluster. • Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.) NOTE The proposed channel assignment will not take effect if the Channel field on the Wireless Radio page is set to auto. The channel must be set to a static channel. Viewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting Locks The Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each access point is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each access point, and an option to lock an access point on its current radio channel so that it cannot be reassigned to another. Table 38 provides details about Current Channel Assignments. Table 38 Channel Assignments Field IP Address Wireless Radio Band Channel Description IP Address for the access point.
