beacon-regulate Enabling this setting introduces randomness in the
beacon generation so that multiple APs on the same
channel do not send beacons at the same time, which
causes collisions over the air.

Work around a known issue on Cisco 7921G telephones
by specfying a cap for a radio’s maximum equivalent
isotropic radiated power (EIRP). When you enable this
parameter, even if the regulatory approved maximum for
a given channel is higher than this EIRP cap, the AP radio
using this profile will advertise onlythis capped maximum
EIRP in its radio beacons.
1–31 dBm.
channel Channel number for the AP 802.11a/802.11n physical
layer. The available channels depend on the regulatory
domain (country). Channel number configuration options
for 20 MHz and 40 MHz modes:
 num: Entering a channel number disables 40 MHz
mode and activates 20 MHz mode for the entered
channel.
 num+: Entering a channel number with a plus (+) sign
selects a primary and secondary channel for
40 MHz mode. The number entered becomes the
primary channel and the secondary channel is
determined by increasing the primary channel
number by 4. Example: 157+ represents 157 as the
primary channel and 161 as the secondary channel.
 num-: Entering a channel number with a minus (-)
sign selects a primary and secondary channel for
40 MHz mode. The number entered becomes the
primary channel and the secondary channel is
determined by decreasing the primary channel
number by 4. Example: 157- represents 157 as the
primary channel and 153 as the secondary channel.
NOTE: 20 MHz clients are allowed to associate when a
primary and secondary channel are configured; however,
the client will only use the primary channel.

channel-reuse When you enable the channel reuse feature, it can
operate in either of the following three modes; static,
dynamic or disable. (This feature is disabled by default.)
 Static mode: 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.
 Dynamic mode: 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.
 Disable mode: This mode does not support the tuning
of the CCA Detect Threshold.
