You can access these settings on theMobility MasterWebUI by selecting the configuration for themanaged devicefrom the configuration hierarchy, then navigating to theConfiguration > AP GroupsandConfiguration > Access Pointspages. Use these pages to specify the radio mode and range of channels and maximum channel bandwidth that can be assigned to an AP or AP group via an AirMatch solution. The AirMatch feature will not assign an AP a channel that does not fall within the group of valid channels or channel bandwidth ranges allowed by that 2.4GHzGigahertz.and 5GHzGigahertz.radio profile used by that AP.

The AirMatch feature performs automatic daily updates by default, but you can use theMobility MasterWebUI or command-line interface to disable daily updates for APs at one or more configuration nodes, allowing those APs and retaining their existingRFRadio Frequency.

EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.values, and the AP radio can continue to voluntarily change channels to avoid radar interference or high noise levels.

AirMatch supports manual dual 5GHzGigahertz.mode selection inAP-344access points and auto dual 5GHzGigahertz.mode selection inAP-345access points.

A radio set with theairmatch ap freezecommand uses a static radio configuration until those settings get explicitly canceled with theairmatch ap unfreezecommand. This command can be used to freeze either the channel or theEIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.value, or both values. For example, you can freeze the channel on an AP radio, while allowing theEIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.values to be updated by AirMatch.

Starting withArubaOS8.2.0.0, theeirpparameter supports the configuration ofEIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.values in .1dBmDecibel-Milliwatts. dBm is a logarithmic measurement (integer) that is typically used in place of mW to represent receive-power level. AMP normalizes all signals to dBm, so that it is easy to evaluate performance between various vendors.increments.270 Seriesaccess points support both positive and negativeEIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.values; all other APs support positive values only.

Unfreezing a radio configuration with theairmatch ap unfreezecommand does not mean that there will automatically be an immediate change in the AP radio channel andEIRPEffective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.values. It does, however, mean that the AirMatch algorithm can assign a new set of values at the next update.

By default, each AP in aMobility Masterdeployment measures itsRFRadio Frequency.

Use theap system profilecommand to modify these default report intervals, or to disable AirMatch reports to the APs.

Use theminimum-channel-bandwidthparameter in the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz radio profiles to set a specific channel bandwidth for APs associated tomanaged devices. This parameter varies from the maximum-channel-bandwidth parameter, in that the maximum-channel-bandwidth allows the AP to implement an AirMatch solution that may select all possible channel widths up to the selected maximum value.
