MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

IMPORTANT: RRM analysis cannot be run until the network is complete and stable. This means
that all of the following conditions must be true:
• All controlled APs are synchronized with the configuration settings on the controller.
• The number of controlled radios in the network has not changed during the last 30 minutes.
• No controlled radio in the network has had its configuration changed and synchronized during
the last 30 minutes.
• The majority (at least 99%) of the controlled APs in the network are operational and
communicating with the controller.
• All controlled radios have been operational for the Neighbor detection time (shown on the
Radio configuration page for each radio).
• The controller has received RF environment information from all controlled APs.
• If operating in teaming mode, all team members are operational and synchronized with the
team manager.
Configuring RRM options
Before you can run an analysis, the first thing you need to do is define RRM configuration settings
at the bottom of the page.
Configuration
Select the RRM feature that you want to activate. Auto-channel is enabled by default.
Auto-channel (system-wide)
The system-wide auto-channel feature will only adjust the operating channel on controlled AP radios
that are configured to use automatic channel selection (i.e., Channel set to Automatic on the Radio
configuration page).
Auto-channel is run before auto-power if both features are enabled.
The goal of this feature is to maximize the total potential wireless data capacity for the network as
a whole, while allowing each AP/radio to get its fair-share of available channel time. Auto-channel
optimizes the channel assignment for all radios in the network that are operating on a non-fixed
channel. Radios on non-controlled APs, as well as those on controlled APs that do not have their
Channel set to Automatic on the Radio configuration page, are considered fixed channel
(unchangeable) and are not optimized by auto-channel.
