Table 103: ARM Profile Configuration Parameters Setting Description Off-channel scanning can impact client performance. Typically, the shorter the scan interval, the higher the impact on performance. If you are deploying a large number of new APs on the network, you may want to lower the Scan Interval to help those APs find their optimal settings more quickly. Raise the Scan Interval back to its default setting after the APs are functioning as desired. Range: 0-2,147,483,647 seconds. Default: 10 seconds Active Scan When you enable Active Scan, an AP initiates active scanning via probe request. This option elicits more information from nearby APs, but also creates additional management traffic on the network. Active Scan is disabled by default, and should not be enabled except under the direct supervision of Dell Support. Default: disabled ARM Over the Air Updates The ARM Over the Air Updates option allows an AP to get information about its RF environment from its neighbors, even the AP cannot scan. If this feature is enabled, when an AP on the network scans a foreign (non-home) channel, it sends other APs an Over-the-Air (OTA) update in an 802.11 management frame that contains information about the scanning AP's home channel, the current transmission EIRP value of its home channel, and one-hop neighbors seen by that AP. Default: enabled Scanning The Scanning checkbox enables or disables AP scanning across multiple channels. Disabling this option also disables the following scanning features: l Multi Band Scan l Rogue AP Aware l Voip Aware Scan l Power Save Scan Do not disable Scanning unless you want to disable ARM and manually configure AP channel and transmission power. Default: enabled Multi Band Scan If enabled, single radio channel APs scans for rogue APs across multiple channels. This option requires that Scanning is also enabled. (The Multi Band Scan option does not apply to APs that have two radios, as these devices already scan across multiple channels. If one of these dual-radio devices are assigned an ARM profile with Multi Band enabled, that device will ignore this setting.) Default: disabled VoIP Aware Scan Dell's VoIP Call Admission Control (CAC) prevents any single AP from becoming congested with voice calls. When you enable CAC, you should also enable VoIP Aware Scan in the ARM profile, so the AP will not attempt to scan a different channel if one of its clients has an active VoIP call. This option requires that Scanning is also enabled. Default: disabled 519 | Adaptive Radio Management Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.x | User Guide
