Figure 6-46. Enabling Interference Avoidance
2. Check the Enable Interference Avoidance box.
3. Typically, you should leave the settings below at their defaults. However,
you can customize them:
a. Enter a value between 1 and 15 in the Average Retries field to set the
threshold described above in the interference avoidance procedure.
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 relatively drastic action that radios should not often take.
b. Enter a time between 0 and 65535 seconds in the Hold Time field. 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 3600 seconds (one hour).
