Table 103: ARM Profile Configuration Parameters Setting Description Allowed bands for 40MHz channels The specified setting allows ARM to determine if 40 MHz mode of operation is allowed on the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz frequency band only, on both frequency bands, or on neither frequency band. Client Aware If the Client Aware option is enabled, the AP does not change channels if there is an active client associated to that AP. (Activity is defined by the sta-inactivity-time parameter in the IDS general profile. By default, a client is considered active if it has sent or received traffic within the last 60 seconds.) If you disable Client Aware , the AP may change to a more optimal channel, but this change may also disrupt current client traffic. Default: enabled Max Tx EIRP Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may also specify a special value of 127 dBm for regulatory maximum. Higher power level settings may be constrained by local regulatory requirements and AP capabilities. In the event that an AP is configured for a Max Tx EIRP setting it cannot support, this value will be reduced to the highest supported power setting. Default: 127 dBm NOTE: Power settings will not change if the Assignment option is set to disabled or maintain. Min Tx EIRP Minimum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may also specify a special value of 127 dBm for regulatory maximum to disable power adjustments for environments such as outdoor mesh links. Note that power settings will not change if the Assignment option is set to disabled or maintain. Higher power level settings may be constrained by local regulatory requirements and AP capabilities. In the event that an AP is configured for a Min Tx EIRP setting it cannot support, this value will be reduced to the highest supported power setting. Default: 9 dBm NOTE: Consider configuring a Min Tx Power setting higher than the default value if most of your APs are on the ceiling. APs on a ceiling often have good line of sight between them, which will cause ARM to decrease their power to prevent interference. However, if the wireless clients down on the floor do not have such a clear line back to the AP, you could end up with coverage gaps. Rogue AP Aware If you have enabled both the Scanning and Rogue AP options, Dell APs may change channels to contain off-channel rogue APs with active clients. This security features allows APs to change channels even if the Client Aware setting is disabled. This setting is disabled by default, and should only be enabled in high-security environments where security requirements are allowed to consume higher levels of network resources. You may prefer to receive Rogue AP alerts via SNMP traps or syslog events. Default: disabled Scan Interval If Scanning is enabled, the Scan Interval defines how often the AP will leave its current channel to scan other channels in the band.
