channel management (enabled or disabled) is propagated to the other devices in
the Single Point Setup cluster.
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.

Configuring and Viewing the Channel Assignments
To configure and view the channel assignments for the Single Point Setup
members:
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.

STEP 2
To start automatic channel assignment, click Start.
The channel management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to
synchronize the radio channels of all WAP devices that are members of the cluster.
When the channel management is enabled, the radio channel is not synchronized
across the cluster to other devices.

When the channel management is enabled, the radio channel is not synchronized
across the cluster to other devices.
When the automatic channel assignment is enabled, the channel manager
periodically maps the radio channels used by the WAP devices in a Single Point
Setup cluster and, if necessary, reassigns the channels to reduce the interference
with the cluster members or with the devices outside the cluster. The channel
policy for the radio is automatically set to the static mode, and the Auto option is
not available for the Channel field on the Wireless > Radio page.
