acceptable-cov
erage-index
The minimal coverage that the AP should try to achieve on
its channel. The denser the AP deployment, the lower this
value should be.
This setting applies to multi-band implementations only.
1-6 4
active-scan When the Active Scan checkbox is selected, 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
disabled
assignment Activates one of four ARM channel/power assignment
modes.
— single-band
(new
installations
only)
disable Disables ARM channel/power assignments.
maintain Maintains existing channel assignments.
multi-band Computes ARM assignments for both 5 GHZ (802.11a) and
2.4 GHZ (802.11b/g) frequency bands.
single-band Computes ARM assignments for a single band.
backoff-time Time, in seconds, an AP backs off after requesting a new
channel or power.
120-3600 240 seconds
client-aware If the Client Aware option is enabled, the AP does not
change channels if there is active client traffic on that AP. If
Client Aware is disabled, the AP may change to a more
optimal channel, but this change may also disrupt current
client traffic.
— enabled
clone Name of an existing ARM profile from which parameter
values are copied.
——
error-rate-
threshold
The percentage of errors in the channel that triggers a
channel change. Recommended value is 50%.
0-100 50%
error-rate-wait
-time
Time, in seconds, that the error rate has to be at least the
error rate threshold to trigger a channel change.

Values: 1-100
30 seconds
free-channel-
index
The difference in the interference index between the new
channel and current channel must exceed this value for the
AP to move to a new channel. The higher this value, the
lower the chance an AP will move to the new channel.
Recommended value is 25.
10-40 25
ideal-coverage-
index
The coverage that the AP should try to achieve on its
channel. The denser the AP deployment, the lower this
value should be. Recommended value is 10.
2-20 10
load-aware-scan-
threshold
Load aware ARM preserves network resources during
periods of high traffic by temporarily halting ARM scanning
if the load for the AP gets too high.
The Load Aware Scan Threshold is the traffic throughput
level an AP must reach before it stops scanning. The
supported range for this setting is 0-20000000 bytes/second.
(Specify 0 to disable this feature.)
