Status—Shows the status of the wireless radio in the device. (Some WAP devices may 
have more than one wireless radio; each radio is displayed on a separate line in the 
table.) The radio status is up (operational) or down (not operational).
When selected for an access point, automated channel management plans do not reassign the 
WAP devices to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, WAP 
devices with locked channels are factored in as requirements for the plan.
Click Save to update the locked setting. Locked devices show the same channel for the Current 
Channel Assignments table and the Proposed Channel Assignments table. Locked devices 
keep their current channels.
Proposed Channel Assignments Table
Proposed Channel Assignments Table
The Proposed Channel Assignments table shows the proposed channels that are to be assigned 
to each WAP device when the next update occurs. Locked channels are not reassigned—the 
optimization of channel distribution among devices takes into account that locked devices 
must remain on their current channels. WAP devices that are not locked may be assigned to 
different channels than they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan.
For each WAP device in the Single Point Setup, the Proposed Channel Assignments table 
shows the location, IP Address, and Wireless Radio, as in the Current Channel Assignations 
table. It also shows the Proposed Channel, which is the radio channel to which this WAP 
device would be reassigned if the channel plan is applied.
Configuring Advanced Settings
Configuring Advanced Settings
The Advanced settings area enables you to customize and schedule the channel plan for the 
Single Point Setup. 
By default, channels are automatically reassigned once every hour, but only if interference can 
be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels are reassigned even if the network is busy. The 
default settings are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would need to implement 
channel management.
You can change the Advanced settings to configure the following settings:
Change channels if interference is reduced by at least—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. Using this setting lets you set a threshold gain in efficiency for channel
