When the channel management is enabled, the WAP device automatically assigns
the radio channels used by the WAP devices in a Single Point Setup cluster. The
automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with
other WAP devices outside of its cluster) and maximizes the Wi-Fi bandwidth to
help maintain efficient communication over the wireless network.

The automatic channel assignment feature is disabled by default. The state of
channel management (enabled or disabled) is propagated to the other devices in
the Single Point Setup cluster.
channel management (enabled or disabled) is propagated to the other devices in

At a specified interval, the channel manager (that is, the device that provided the
configuration to the cluster) maps all clustered WAP devices to different channels
and measures the interference levels of the cluster members. If a significant
channel interference is detected, the channel manager automatically reassigns
some or all of the devices to new channels per an efficiency algorithm (or
automated channel plan). If the channel manager determines that a change is
necessary, then the reassignment information is sent to all members of the cluster.
A SYSLOG message is generated as well indicating the sender device and the
new and old channel assignments.

members:
STEP 1
Select Single Point Setup > Channel Management.
From the Channel Management page, you can view channel assignments for all
WAP devices in the cluster and stop or start the automatic channel management.
You can also use the advanced settings to modify the interference reduction
potential that triggers the channel reassignment, change the schedule for
automatic updates, and reconfigure the channel set used for assignments.
