  2. Define the following Basic Configuration values:

    Location

    Assign the physical location of the RF Domain. This name could be as specific as the floor of a building, or as generic as an entire site. The location defines the physical area where a common set of access point configurations are deployed and managed by the RF Domain policy.

    Contact

    Provide the name of the contact E-mail (or administrator) assigned to respond to events created by or impacting the RF Domain.

    Time Zone

    Set the geographic time zone for the RF Domain. The RF Domain can contain unique country codes and time zone information to access points deployed across different states or countries, thus making them ideal for managing device configurations across different geographical deployments.

    Country

    Define the two-digit country code set for the RF Domain. The country code must be set accurately to avoid the policy‘s illegal operation, as device radios transmit in specific channels unique to the country of operation.
  3. Refer to the Smart Scan field to define the channels for smart scan.

    Enable Dynamic Channel

    Select this option to enable channel scan.

    2.4 GHz Channels

    Use the Select drop-down menu to select channels to scan in the 2.4 GHz band. Selected channels are highlighted with a grey-colored background. Unselected channels are highlighted with a white-colored background. Multiple channels can be selected at the same time.

    5.0 GHz Channels

    Use the Select drop-down menu to select channels to scan in the 5.0 GHz band. Selected channels are highlighted with a grey-colored background. Unselected channels are highlighted with a white-colored background. Multiple channels can be selected at the same time.
  4. Refer to the Statistics field to define how RF Domain statistics are updated.

    Update Interval

    Set a statistics update interval of 0 or 5-3600 seconds for updates retrieved from the access point. The default value is 0.
  5. Use the Initial Setup Wizard to configure the device.
  6. Select OK to save the changes to the Basic Configuration.

    Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
