Installation and Initialization AP-4000MR User Guide

Initialization

— Auto Channel Select: By default, the AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects the best

available communication channel, either a free channel (if available) or the channel with the least amount of

interference. Remove the check mark to disable this option. See Dynamic Frequency Selection/Radar

Detection (DFS/RD) for information and Available Channels for a list of available channels.

NOTE: When an AP is configured to function as a Mesh AP, its channel will depend on the channel of its

Portal.

— Frequency Channel: When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and displays the Access

Point’s current operating channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Point’s

channel. If you decide to manually set the unit’s channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same

frequency. Available Channels vary based on regulatory domain. See Dynamic Frequency Selection/Radar

Detection (DFS/RD) for information and Available Channels for a list of available channels.

NOTE: When an AP is configured to function as a Mesh AP, its channel will depend on the channel of its

Portal.

— Transmit Rate: Use the drop-down menu to select a specific transmit rate for the AP. The values depend on

the Operational mode. Auto Fallback is the default setting; it allows the AP unit to select the best transmit rate

based on the cell size.
