Parameter Description Range Default
recommended for environments with a
high-level of interference related to 2.4 GHz
appliances such as cordless phones.
l Level 4— Level 3 settings, and FIR
immunity. At this level, the AP adjusts its
sensitivity to in-band power, which can
improve performance in environments with
high and constant levels of noise
interference.
l Level 5— The AP completely disables PHY
error reporting, improving performance by
eliminating the time the W-IAP would spend
on PHY processing.
NOTE: Increasing the immunity level makes
the AP to lose a small amount of range.
legacy-mode
Enables the W-IAPs to run the radio in non-
802.11n mode.
— Disabled
max-distance <count>
Configures the maximum distance between a
client and an AP or between a mesh point and
a mesh portal in meters. This value is used to
derive ACK and CTS timeout times.
A value of 0 specifies the default settings for
this parameter, where timeouts are only
modified for outdoor mesh radios which use a
distance of 16km.
600-1000 0
spectrum-band <type>
Allows you to specify the portion of the channel
to monitor for 5 GHz configuration.
— —
spectrum-monitor
Allows the W-IAPs in access mode to continue
with normal access service to clients, while
performing additional function of monitoring RF
interference (from both neighboring APs and
non Wi-Fi sources such as, microwaves and
cordless phones) on the channel they are
currently serving clients.
— —
no…
Removes the configuration. — —
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to create a 5.0 GHz radio profile on a W-IAP.
Example
The following example configures the 5 GHz radio profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# rf dot11a-radio-profile
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# beacon-interval 100
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# legacy-mode
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# dot11h
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# interference-immunity 3
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# max-distance 600
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# csa-count 2
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# spectrum-monitor
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# end
