Configuring the 6 GHz Radio
You can select or clear channels from which to choose during the automatic channel selection process, or select a specific channel on which to operate, or enable Call Admission Control for this radio.
You can disable the WLAN service for this radio entirely by selecting the Override Group Config checkbox in the Enable 6 GHz band field, and toggling the switch off.
Complete the following steps to configure a 6 GHz radio setting on an AP or AP Group.- From the main menu, select and then select AP List or AP Group List.
- Depending on your requirements, configure the 6 GHz radio at the AP level or at the AP Group level.
- In the Edit AP page, select the Radio 6 GHz tab; in the Edit AP Group page, select the Radio (6G) tab.
- The Enable 6 GHz band toggle switch is set by default to on. Click the toggle switch to disable, or subsequently re-enable, the 6 GHz band.
- For Channelization,
choose the desired channel bandwidth from the drop-down list.
These options represent the range of channel bandwidths that each radio frequency can support.
- 2.4 GHz radio: Auto, 20, or 40 MHz.
- 5 GHz radio: Auto, 20, 40, 80, or 160 MHz.
- 6 GHz radio: Auto, 20, 40, 80, 160, or 320 MHz.
If 320 channelization is selected, then the 320 MHz-1 and 320 MHz-2 radio channels are displayed in the Radio 6 GHz field, and the Channel field will display options for 320 MHz-1 and 320 MHz-2 if an applicable channel is selected. With Auto selection, the 320 MHz-1 and 320 MHz-2 options are not displayed. For more information, refer to Support for 320 MHz channelization.
- For Radio 6 GHz, select or deselect the center frequencies on which the radio will broadcast.
- For Channel, select
Auto or a channel number from the list.
- Select 1 through 233 for 20 MHz channel.
- Select 1 through 229 for 40 MHz channel.
- Select 1 through 221 for 80, 160, or 320 MHz channels. For the 320 MHz channel, select 33 through 189 to choose between 320 MHz-1 and 320 MHz-2 channel options. If you select from 1 through 29, or from 193 through 221, the 320 MHz-1 and 320 MHz-2 options are automatically selected and locked, respectively. Select the radio channels by clicking on them. The 320 MHz channels consist of any two adjacent 160 MHz channels.
- For TX Power, choose the desired transmit power from the list (default is Auto).
- For Call Admission
Control, enable Wi-Fi Multimedia Admission Control (WMM-AC) to
support Polycom/Spectralink Voice Interoperability for Enterprise Wireless
(VIEW) certification (default is Off).Note: Call Admission Control is effective only when both the AP and the client support WMM-AC.
- For BSS Min Rate, select HE MCS 0 (default), HE MCS 1, HE MCS 2, or HE MCS 3 from the drop-down list.
- For Mgmt Tx Rate, select 6 Mbps (default), 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, or 54 Mbps from the drop-down list.
- Toggle the Enable Indoor AFC
option to enable the feature.
For indoor APs, the Enable Indoor AFC option is disabled by default. For outdoor APs, the Enable Indoor AFC option is enabled by default and you cannot disable this option.
When you enable the Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) feature, a tri-band AP configured to operate in Standard Power (SP) mode, before transmitting, consults with a local AFC system to validate frequency operation and starts operating only after the usage request is approved. However, an AP operating in Low Power Indoor (LPI) mode is allowed to transmit without the need for approval from the AFC system.
