Configuring Advanced Settings
The advanced settings allow you to customize and schedule the channel plan for 
the cluster. If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating 
Advanced Settings), channels are automatically fine-tuned once every hour if 
interference can be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels are reassigned 
even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets will be used (b/g for 
access points using IEEE 802.11b/g and a for access points using IEEE 802.11a).
The default settings are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would 
need to implement channel management.
Use Advanced Settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers 
channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and 
reconfigure the channel set used for assignments. If there are no fields showing in 
the Advanced section, click the toggle button to display the settings that modify 
timing and details of the channel planning algorithm.

Advanced Channel Management Settings
Field
Description
Change channels if 
interference is reduced by 
at least
Specify the minimum percentage of interference 
reduction a proposed plan must achieve in order to 
be applied. The default is 75 percent.
Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages 
ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent.
This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel re-
assignment so that the network is not continually 
disrupted for minimal gains in efficiency.
For example, if channel interference must be reduced 
by 75 percent and the proposed channel 
assignments will only reduce interference by 30 
percent, then channels will not be reassigned. 
However; if you re-set the minimal channel 
interference benefit to 25 percent and click Apply
the proposed channel plan will be implemented and 
channels reassigned as needed.
