Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment.

When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel Manager 
periodically maps radio channels used by clustered access points and, if 
necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered access points to reduce 
interference with cluster members or other access points outside the 
cluster.

•

Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps 
or channel re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect 
the channel assignment.)

The proposed channel assignment will not take effect if the Channel field on the 
Wireless Radio page is set to auto. The channel must be set to a static channel. 

The Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the 
cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each access point is 
broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each access point, and an 
option to lock an access point on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-
assigned to another.
