9.1 Navigating To Channel Management
To view session monitoring information, click the Cluster, Channel Management tab.
9.2 Understanding Channel Management
When Channel Management is enabled, the 9160 Wireless Gateway automatically
assigns radio channels used by clustered access points to reduce mutual interference
(or interference with other access points outside of its cluster). This maximizes
Wi-Fi bandwidth and helps maintain the efficiency of communication over your
wireless network.
(You must start channel management to get automatic channel assignments; it is
disabled by default on a new AP. See “Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel
Assignment” on page 84.)
