Configure Advanced Radio Settings for AP5XX

Off-Channel Scanning (OCS) settings are available for supported AP5XX models. Smart RF relies on OCS to monitor the RF environment in real-time, allowing managed radios to adapt to changes in the RF environment. OCS can negatively impact some devices. The advanced radio settings help you improve data packet throughput by defining the channels that will participate in OCS and configure the intervals.
