Enables bandBand refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. steering in the 5 GHzGigahertz. mode. On selecting this, the Instant AP steers the client to the 5 GHz band (if the client is 5 GHz capable), but allows the client connection on the 2.4 GHz band if the client persistently attempts for 2.4 GHz association.

Enforces 5 GHz band steering mode on the Instant APs.

Allows the Instant AP to balance the clients across the two radios to best utilize the available 2.4 GHz bandwidth. This feature takes into account the fact that the 5 GHz band has more channels than the 2.4 GHz band, and that the 5 GHz channels operate in 40 MHzMegahertz, while the 2.5 GHz band operates in 20 MHz.

Allows access based on client requests. When Airtime Fairness Mode is set to Default Access option, per user and per SSIDService Set Identifier. SSID is a name given to a WLAN and is used by the client to access a WLAN network. bandwidth limits are not enforced.

Allocates air time evenly across all the clients.

Turn on the toggle switch to enable the Client Match feature on APs. When enabled, client count is balanced among all the channels in the same band. When Client Match is enabled, ensure that the Scanning option is enabled. For more information, see AP Control Configuration Parameters.

NOTE: When Client Match is disabled, channels can be changed even when the clients are active on a BSSIDBasic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID identifies a particular BSS within an area. In infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.. The Client Match option is disabled by default.

Configures a value for the calculating interval of Client Match. The interval is specified in seconds and the default value is 3 seconds. You can specify a value within the range of 10-600.

Configures the calculating interval of Client Match. This number takes into account the least similarity percentage to be considered as in the same virtual RFRadio Frequency. RF refers to the electromagnetic wave frequencies within a range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, including the frequencies used for communications or Radar signals. neighborhood of Client Match. You can specify a percentage value within the range of 20-100. The default value is 60%.

Configures a Client Match threshold value. This number takes acceptance client count difference among all the channels of Client Match. When the client load on an AP reaches or exceeds the threshold in comparison, Client Match is enabled on that AP. You can specify a value within range of 1-20. The default value is 5.

Enables the Client Match feature to work across different standalone Instant APs in the same management VLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.. All such standalone Instant APs must be set with the same Client Match key.

Client Match uses the wired layer 2 protocol to synchronize information exchanged between Instant APs. Users have an option to configure the Client Match keys. Instant APs verify if the frames that they broadcast contain a common Client Match key. Instant APs that receive these frames verify if the sender belongs to the same network or if the sender and receiver both have the same Client Match key. You can specify a value within the range of 1– 2147483646.

Allows you to select a custom list of valid 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. By default, the AP uses valid channels as defined by the Country Code (regulatory domain). On selecting Customize Valid Channels, a list of valid channels for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are displayed. The valid channel customization feature is disabled by default.

The valid channels automatically show in the Static Channel Assignment pane

Allows you to configure a minimum transmission power within a range of 3 to 33 dBmDecibel-Milliwatts. dBm is a logarithmic measurement (integer) that is typically used in place of mW to represent receive-power level. AMP normalizes all signals to dBm, so that it is easy to evaluate performance between various vendors. in 3 dBm increments. If the minimum transmission EIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna. setting configured on an AP is not supported by the AP model, this value is reduced to the highest supported power setting. The default value for minimum transmit power is 18 dBm.

Allows you to configure the maximum transmission power within a range of 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. If the maximum transmission EIRP configured on an AP is not supported by the local regulatory requirements or AP model, the value is reduced to the highest supported power settings.

Allows ARM to control channel assignments for the Instant APs with active clients. When the Client Match mode is disabled, an Instant AP may change to a more optimal channel, which disrupts current client traffic. The Client Aware option is enabled by default.

Allows the Instant AP to dynamically scan all 802.11802.11 is an evolving family of specifications for wireless LANs developed by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). 802.11 standards use the Ethernet protocol and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for path sharing. channels within its 802.11 regulatory domain at regular intervals. This scanning report includes WLANWireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a 802.11 standards-based LAN that the users access through a wireless connection. coverage, interference, and intrusion detection data.

NOTE: For Client Match configuration, ensure that Scanning is enabled.

Allows the administrators to configure 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. 40 MHz channels are two 20 MHz adjacent channels that are bonded together. The 40 MHz channel effectively doubles the frequency bandwidth available for data transmission. For high performance, you can select 5 GHz. If the AP density is low, enable in the 2.4 GHz band.

Allows you to configure the time within a range of 10 to 3600 seconds, when an Instant AP backs off after requesting a new channel or power. It can increase the time window of channel interference check, and the time window of power check. The default value for minimum back off time is 240 seconds.

Allows you to check the difference in threshold in the channel interference index between the new channel and the existing channel. An Instant AP only moves to a new channel if the new channel has a lower interference index value than the current channel. This parameter specifies the required difference between the two interference index values before the Instant AP moves to the new channel. The lower this value, the more likely the Instant AP moves to the new channel. It has a default value of 25.

Allows you to specify the ideal coverage index in the range of 2 to 20, which an Instant AP tries to achieve on its channel. The denser the Instant AP deployment, the lower this value should be. It has a default value of 10.

Allows ARM to ignore the internally calculated channel quality metric and initiates channel changes based on thresholds defined in the profile. ARM chooses the channel based on the calculated interference index value. The option Channel Quality Aware Arm Disable is disabled by default.

Allows you to specify the channel quality percentage within a range of 0 to 100, below which ARM initiates a channel change. It has a default value of 70%.

Configures the minimum percentage of errors in the channel that triggers a channel change. It has a range of 0 to 100 % with a default value of 70%.
