5-20 Configuring WLANS

v1.0, June 2007

• The AP response time to noise is quick and reliable, even to non-802.11 noise, especially

when client traffic starts generating errors due to the noise.

• Non-802.11 noise detection is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.

• The IRM algorithm is based on what the AP hears, which means that the system can

compensate for scenarios like broken antennas or blocked signal coverage on neighboring

APs.

• Since channel decisions are based on the information the AP receives from the RF

environment, interference due to third-party APs is taken into account.

Configuring IRM

1. Enable IRM for each AP and for the 802.11b/g radio.

• To enable IRM under the global setting, navigate to Configuration > Advanced > WLAN

> Radio.

• To enable IRM for individual APs, navigate to Configuration > Advanced > WLAN >

Advanced.

• To enable IRM on the 802.11b/g radio, navigate to the Configuration > Advanced >

WLAN > Radio page (Figure 5-9).
