Profiles > RF The RF management profiles configure radio tuning and calibration, AP load balancing, coverage hole detection, and RSSI metrics.  802.11a Radio-Defines AP radio settings for the 5 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. Refer to "Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio" on page 99.  802.11g Radio-Defines AP radio settings for the 2.4 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. Each 802.11a and 802.11b radio profile includes a reference to an Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile. If you would like the ARM feature to dynamically select the best channel and transmission power for the radio, verify that the 802.11a/ 802.11g radio profile references an active and enabled ARM profile. If you want to manually select a channel for each AP group, create separate 802.11a and 802.11g profiles for each AP group and assign a different transmission channel for each profile. Refer to "Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio" on page 99.  AM Scanning-Defines AP radio settings for Air Monitor network and radio frequency (RF) monitoring.  ARM-Defines the Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) settings for scanning, acceptable coverage levels, transmission power and noise thresholds. In most network environments, ARM does not need any adjustments from its factory-configured settings. However, if you are using VoIP or have unusually high security requirements you may want to manually adjust the ARM thresholds. Refer to "Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio > ARM" on page 102.  HT Radio-Manages high-throughput (802.11n) radio settings for 802.11n-capable APs. A high-throughput profile determines 40 MHz tolerance settings, and controls whether or not APs using this profile will advertise intolerance of 40 MHz operation. (This option is disabled by default, allowing 40 MHz operation.)
