Automatic Channel and Transmit Power Selection
To allow automatic channel and transmit power selection based on the radio environment, enable Adaptive
Radio Management (ARM). Note that ARM assignments will override the static channel and power
configurations done using the radio profile. For complete information on the Adaptive Radio Management
feature, refer to
Adaptive Radio Management on page 449.
Managing AP Console Settings
An AP’s provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These parameters are initially configured on the
controller and then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Best practices are to configure an AP’s
provisioning settings using the controller WebUI. If you find it necessary to alter an AP’s provisioning settings
for troubleshooting purposes, you can do so using the controller WebUI and CLI, or alternatively, through a
console connection to the AP itself.
To create a console connection to the AP:
1. Connect a local console to the serial port on the AP. You can connect the AP’s serial port to a terminal or
terminal server using an Ethernet cable, or connect the serial console port to a DB-9 adapter, then connect
the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232 cable. For details on connecting to an AP’s serial console port, refer
to the Installation Guide included with the AP.
2. Establish a console communication to the AP, then power-cycle the AP to reboot it.
3. To access the AP console command prompt, press Enter when the AP displays the message “Hit <Enter> to
stop autoboot.” If the autoboot countdown expires before you can interrupt it, turn the device off and then
back on.
4. Once the AP boot prompt appears, enter the AP console password. You can issue any of the AP provisioning
commands described in the Table 126. Remember, though these commands may be useful for
troubleshooting, they are all optional and are not necessary for normal AP provisioning.
