RF Management > Configuration
From the RF Configuration page, you can view and modify the RF settings
on managed access points.
Guidelines for the
Channel Plan
Algorithm
The WLAN Controller has the channel plan algorithm that evaluates
interference of the channels used by the access points and changes the
channels when interference is detected.
Here are guidelines for running the channel plan algorithm:
The WLAN Controller automatically runs the channel plan
algorithm on managed access points when Channel Plan Mode is
selected Fixed Time or Interval.
The WLAN Controller does not run the channel plan algorithm on
the access point if the channel is manually assigned to the access
point. See “Changing the Channel or Power” on page 217.
The WLAN Controller does not run the channel plan algorithm on
the access point when Automatic Channel is disabled in the AP
profile that the access point is applied to. See “Access Point Profile
Radio Configuration” on page 331.
To view and modify the RF settings, do the following:
1. From the Navigation pane, go to WLAN > AP Management > RF
Management.
The RF Configuration page is displayed as shown in Figure 109.

Table 72. RF Configuration
Field Description
Channel Plan Specifies the RF band that the access points use
to send and receive data. The options are:
5 GHz (802.11 a/n) - This is the default
setting.
2.4 GHz (802.11 b/g/n)
Channel Plan Mode Specifies the channel plan mode. The options
are:
Fixed Time - The channel plan algorithm
runs at the time specified in Channel
Plan Fixed Time (hh:mm) in the day.
Manual - The channel plan algorithm and
allocation are manually controlled and
started. This is the default setting.
Interval - The channel plan algorithm
runs at intervals that specified in Channel
Plan Interval.
Channel Plan History
Depth
Specifies how frequently the channel is
reassigned to the access point. The default
value is 5.
For example, when the depth is 5, after the
channel is assigned to the access point, the
channel plan algorithm does not change the
channel for the access point for next five times of
channel plan algorithm runs.
Channel Plan
Interval (minutes)
Specifies the interval that the channel plan
algorithm runs when Interval is selected as
Channel Plan Mode.
Channel Plan Fixed
Time (hh:mm)
Specifies the time that the channel plan
algorithm runs when Fixed Time is selected as
Channel Plan Mode.
Power Adjustment
Mode
Specifies the transmit RF power adjustment
mode. The options are:
Manual - Manually starts the transmit RF
power adjustment for the access points.
You must click Start after selecting this
option.
Auto - The WLAN Controller
automatically adjusts the transmit RF
power for the access points.

3. Click Submit.
Note
To save your changes to the startup configuration file, see “Save All
Applied Changes” on page 39.
Power Threshold
(dBm)
Specifies the RF power threshold. The access
points managed by the WLAN Controller adjust
the RF power using the power threshold.
For example, access point 1 transmits the RF
and other access points detect the RF from
access point 1. Among the other access points,
access point 2 detects the highest level of RF
power from access point 1. When access points
1 and 2 are using the same channel and the RF
level that access point 2 detects is greater than
the power threshold, the power threshold of
access point 2 is lowered by 5%.

with one another and allows the WLAN Controller to manage these access
points. Figure 171 illustrates an example of a topology using WDS.
Figure 171. WDS Group Configuration Example
Guidelines for a
WDS Group
Here are the guidelines for using a WDS group.
The access point that is connected to a LAN is called a root access
point.
The access point that is connected to the root access point through
the wireless network is called a satellite access point.
The access points that belong to the same WDS group must be the
same model and have the same version of software installed.
The satellite access points that belong to the same WDS group
must have the same password.
When the WLAN Controller is using WDS, the Wireless ARP
Suppression feature is disabled. See “WLAN Advanced
Configuration > Networks” on page 316.
When the WLAN Controller is using WDS, the Distributed
Tunneling and Centralized Tunneling are disabled. See “WLAN
Advanced Configuration > Distributed Tunneling” on page 308 and
“WLAN Advanced Configuration > Centralized L2 Tunneling” on
page 310.

Configuring
WDS
To configure WDS, do the following:
1. Configure the root and satellite access points for a WDS bridge.
To include the root and satellite access points in the same WDS group,
these access points must be set to the same radio band, channel, and
security level. See the documentations for the access point.
2. Create a WDS network.
See “WLAN Advanced Configuration > Networks” on page 316. Allied
Telesis recommends that you select WPA/WPA2 in the Security field
and enter the password.
3. Create an AP profile for the WDS network.
