RF Management
Basic and Advanced RF Management settings are similar, but Advanced allows you to congure settings per Group.
Automatic WLAN Healing increases the transmit power of nearby Access Points to cover for an AP losing connection to the con-
troller, or other loss. It works by periodically looking at the radio neighborhood maps and detecting any changes happening in
the maps. This feature can be congured to wait for a specied time before any transmit power changes are done on neighbor-
ing Access Points to avoid short intermittent changes happening owing to surrounding environment. Conguration also allows
selecting the number of neighboring Access Points which should increase Transmit power to cover for the down Access Point.
This feature is congured per Security Prole group and runs between the access points in the same group.
Maximum neighbors to participate in Self-Healing: Maximum Number of neighboring access points which increase or de-
crease power to cover for a failing Access Point. Selecting “0” disables this feature. The number
of neighbors to participate in healing should not be very large. Three to four usually sufces in
most deployments. This avoids too many access points located close to increase power for a single
failed Access Point.
Self healing wait time after AP failure (in mins): Number of minutes to validate i.e. wait before conrming a failed Access
Point and increasing transmit Power to cover the area. Self healing wait time should be congured
to a value greater than AP reboot time usually two minutes. This allows for uctuations in the
power of nearby Access Points when Access Points are rebooted.
Radio On-Off Times
Radio On Settings can be set for the unit as a whole, or per Group.
Current Time: Enter the correct current time. If NTP service is enabled, this eld displays the local time.
Schedule Radio On/Off: Enables and disables this feature.
Schedule at: Species the time.
Schedule On: Species the days of the week.
Duration: Species the length of on time.
