Interference Recovery Settings for ACS

The following settings define thresholds for the ACS policy Interference Recovery plan supported on AP39xx in a Centralized site. The default ACS policy enables Interference Recovery.

Select Interference Recovery and configure the following parameters.

Table 1. ACS Interference Recovery Settings
Field Description
Channel Occupancy Threshold %

Defines the channel utilization level, measured as a percentage. If the threshold is exceeded, ACS scans for a new operating channel for the AP.

Noise Threshold (dBm) Defines the noise interference limit, measured in dBm. If the noise interface exceeds this threshold, ACS scans for a new operating channel for the AP.
Update Period (Minutes) Defines a period of time, in minutes, where the average values for DCS Noise and Channel Occupancy are measured. If the average value for either setting exceeds the defined threshold for that setting, then the AP triggers Automatic Channel Scan (ACS).
Wait Time (Seconds) Length of the delay (in seconds) before logging an alarm. Default setting is 10 seconds.
Detect Bluetooth Enable this setting to detect Bluetooth interference on the operating channel.
Detect Constant Wave Enable this setting to detect Constant Wave interference on the operating channel.
Detect Cordless Phones Enable this setting to detect cordless phone interference on the operating channel.
Detect Microwaves Enable this setting to detect microwave interference on the operating channel.
Detect Video Bridges Enable this setting to detect video bridge interference on the operating channel.
