After saving the AP configuration you should see the AP under System -> Access Point Status
as ONLINE. Also the Status in the web-GUI of the LANCOM Access Point changes from State
“Waiting-for-Controller-Connection” to “Running”

5.2.8 Automatic channel selection
If you don’t want the Access Point(s) to decide the channels (Automatic selection) automatically
a channel must be selected on each access point in the network. There are 11 non overlapping
ESL channels reserved for the communication with the labels. Five of these channels do not
interfere with typical Wi-Fi installations and should therefore be favored. These are the ESL
channels 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 and they should be selected if there is a Wi-Fi installation on the Wi-
Fi channels 1, 6 and 11.

Warning: Do not select the same channel on two access points within one area. This will cause
interferences and avoids labels from joining the network. The same channel may only be
selected on two access points if it can be guaranteed that every label is within the range of
only one of these access points.
