Band or Spectrum Configuration

Band or spectrum configuration is a method of statistically picking the most potent channel for an AP.
Note: This feature is applicable only for SZ300 and vSZ-H platforms.

Some countries restrict certain 5-GHz channels to indoor use only. For instance, Germany restricts channels in the 5.15-GHz to 5.25-GHz band to indoor use. When ZoneFlex Outdoor APs and Bridges with 5-GHz radios (ZoneFlex 7762, 7762-S, 7762-T, 7761-CM, and 7731) are set to a country code where these restrictions apply, the AP or Bridge can no longer be set to an indoor-only channel and will no longer select from amongst a channel set that includes these indoor-only channels when SmartSelect or Auto Channel selection is used, unless the administrator configures the AP to allow use of these channels.

For instance, if the AP is installed in a challenging indoor environment (such as a warehouse), the administrator may want to allow the AP to use an indoor-only channel. These channels can be enabled for use through the AP CLI or the controller web interface.
