Advertise 802.11d and 802.11h
Capabilities
If enabled, the radio advertises its 802.11d (Country Information) and 802.11h (Transmit
Power Control) capabilities.
TPC Power The transmit power advertised in the TPC IE of beacons and probe responses.
Spectrum Load balancing mode SLB Mode allows control over how to balance clients. Channel-based load-balancing
balances clients across channels. Radio-based load-balancing distributes clients across
radios on the same band, independent of channels.
Spectrum Load balancing mode
update interval
This parameter specifies how often spectrum load balancing calculations are made (in
seconds). The default value is 30 seconds.
Spectrum load balancing The Spectrum load balancing feature helps optimize network resources by balancing
clients across channels, regardless of whether the AP or the controller is responding to
the wireless clients' probe requests.
If enabled, the controller compares whether or not an AP has more clients than its
neighboring APs on other channels. If an AP’s client load is at or over a predetermined
threshold as compared to its immediate neighbors, or if a neighboring Dell AP on another
channel does not have any clients, load balancing will be enabled on that AP. This feature
is disabled by default.
RX Sensitivity Tuning Based
Channel Reuse
Shows if the channel reuse feature’s current operating mode, static, dynamic or disable.
z Static: This mode of operation is a coverage-based adaptation of the Clear Channel
Assessment (CCA) thresholds. In the static mode of operation, the CCA is adjusted
according to the configured transmission power level on the AP, so as the AP transmit
power decreases as the CCA threshold increases, and vice versa.
z Dynamic: In this mode, the Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) thresholds are based on
channel loads, and take into account the location of the associated clients. When you
set the Channel Reuse This feature is automatically enabled when the wireless
medium around the AP is busy greater than half the time. When this mode is enabled,
the CCA threshold adjusts to accommodate transmissions between the AP its most
distant associated client.
z Disable: This mode does not support the tuning of the CCA Detect Threshold.
RX Sensitivity Threshold If the Rx Sensitivity Tuning Based Channel reuse feature is set to static mode, this
parameter manually sets the AP’s Rx sensitivity threshold (-dBm). The AP will filter out and
ignore weak signals that are below the channel threshold signal strength. For example, if
the RX sensitivity threshold was set to -65 dBm, the AP would ignore signals with a
strength from -1 dBM to -64 dBm. If the value is set to zero, the feature will automatically
determine an appropriate threshold.
Non 802.11 Interference Immunity Show the current value for 802.11 Interference Immunity on the 2.4 Ghz band.
The default setting for this parameter is level 2. When performance drops due to
interference from non-802.11 interferers (such as DECT or Bluetooth devices), the level can
be increased up to level 5 for improved performance. However, increasing the level makes
the AP slightly “deaf” to its surroundings, causing the AP to lose a small amount of range.
The levels for this parameter are:
z Level-0: no ANI adaptation.
z Level-1: noise immunity only.
z Level-2: noise and spur immunity.
z Level-3: level 2 and weak OFDM immunity.
z Level-4: level 3 and FIR immunity.
z Level-5: disable PHY reporting.
Enable CSA Shows if Channel Switch Announcements (CSAs) are enabled or disabled. CSAs, as
defined by IEEE 802.11h, enable an AP to announce that it is switching to a new channel
before it begins transmitting on that channel. This allows clients that support CSA to
transition to the new channel with minimal downtime.
CSA Count Number of channel switch announcements that must be sent prior to switching to a new
channel. The default CSA count is 4 announcements.
Management Frame Throttle
Interval
Averaging interval for rate limiting mgmt frames from this radio, in seconds. A management
frame throttle interval of 0 seconds disables rate limiting.
