a. In the Average Retries field, enter a value from 1 through 15 to set the
threshold for the number of times stations must resend frames during a
30-second interval. The default value is 14, which means that, if in a
30-second interval the average station must resend a packet 15 times, the
radio will select a new channel.
Resending packets 14 times implies a relatively high latency, and you can
lower the threshold. Be aware, however, that changing channels is a rela-
tively drastic action that radios should not take too often.
b. In the Hold Time field, enter a time from 0 through 65,535 seconds. This
setting determines how long a radio must wait in between selecting a new
channel and again running ACS. If you set this value too low, then radios
might begin to run ACS continuously, preventing stations from associating
to them.
By default, the Hold Time is set at 3,600 seconds (one hour).
