ProSAFE Wireless Controller Setting Description Tx Power From the menu, select the transmission power of the access point. Note: By default, the access point's transmission power is set to the configuration that is selected on the basic RF Management page. For more information, see Configure Radio Frequency Management for an Advanced Profile Group on page 200. 8. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Configure Channels CAUTION: Do not disable channel allocation unless you are debugging or an extreme situation occurred that affects the channels. Automatic channel allocation distributes channels across the managed access points to reduce interference. Each wireless controller allocates channels for its managed access points, regardless of their configured security profiles. The wireless controller detects interference, traffic load on the access point, and neighborhood maps to determine the best channel for an access point. The wireless controller collects this information over the previous 24 hours and uses this information to determine the best possible channel for the access point. Note: The wireless controller determines available channels based on the country or region that you specified on the General Settings page (see Configure the General Settings on page 100). You can configure channel allocation to allow allocation of only the specified channels when channel allocation is scheduled to run. Channel allocation ensures that the access points use only the channels allowed according to administration policies. To adhere to best practices when adjusting channel allocation, we recommend the following: • Select channels that do not overlap. For example, for 2.4 GHz, use channels 1, 6, and 11. • Schedule channel allocation once a day at times when the fewest clients are expected to be connected. Channel allocation is a global feature that applies to all access points. (If you disable channel allocation, it is globally disabled for all access points.) The allocated channels also apply to all access points, irrespective of whether they are managed in profiles of the basic profile group or profiles of an advanced profile group.
