configured on an AP is not supported by the AP model, this value is reduced to the highest supported power

setting. The default value is for minimum transmit power is 18 dBm.

l Maximum Transmit Power — This indicates the maximum Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) from 3 to

33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. Higher power level settings may be constrained by local regulatory requirements

and AP capabilities. If the maximum transmission EIRP configured on an AP is not supported by the AP model,

the value is reduced to the highest supported power setting. The default value for maximum transmit power is 127

dBm.

l Client Aware — When Enabled, ARM does not change channels for the APs with active clients, except for high

priority events such as radar or excessive noise. This feature must be enabled in most deployments for a stable

WLAN. If the Client Aware mode is Disabled, the OAW-IAP may change to a more optimal channel, which

change may disrupt current client traffic for a while. The Client Aware option is Enabled by default.

When the Client Aware ARM is disabled, channels can be changed even when the clients are active on a BSSID.

l Scanning — When ARM is enabled, the OAW-IAP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its 802.11

regulatory domain at regular intervals and reports to the OAW-IAP. This scanning report includes WLAN

coverage, interference, and intrusion detection data.

l Wide Channel Bands — This feature allows administrators to configure 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5.0

GHz bands. 40 MHz channels are essentially two 20 MHz adjacent channels that are bonded together. 40 MHz

channel effectively doubles the frequency bandwidth available for data transmission.

Monitoring the Network with ARM

When ARM is enabled, anOAW-IAP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its 802.11 regulatory domain at

regular intervals and sends reports to a Virtual Controller on network (WLAN) coverage, interference, and intrusion

detection.

ARM Metrics

ARM computes coverage and interference metrics for each valid channel and chooses the best performing channel

and transmit power settings for each OAW-IAP RF environment. Each OAW-IAP gathers other metrics on its ARM-

assigned channel to provide a snapshot of the current RF health state.

Configuring ARM Features on an OAW-IAP

You can configure ARM features such as band steering, spectrum load balancing, and airtime fairness mode either

using AOS-W Instant UI or CLI.

In the AOS-W Instant UI

To configure ARM:

1. Click the RF link at the top right corner of the AOS-W Instant main window.

2. Click Show advanced options. The ARM tab details are displayed.
