Wireless Access

Hi Guys,

            i had some complaints about some clients that unable to connect to our WLAN, when i checked one AP i had the below output:

show ap arm history ap-name AP-19

Interface :wifi0

First : what does the reason tab implies example:

I : for interference, is it wifi interference or non-wifi interference.

M: Empty channel, what does that mean?

E: error threshold exceeded, what does that mean and how to fix or change the value?

Secondly: how can i go about fixing the problem, change the power values?

OS: 6.3

AP: 105

Thanks for the help,

1.  What regulatory domain is this?

2.  The power of 24 is too, too high.  The ARM min tx should be 12 and the ARM max should be 18.

3.  Means that too many frames have been observed with Errors on its current channel, so it is changing.

4.  M means it saw little traffic on a channel, so it decided to change to it.

The power should be turned down, period, to start.  See if that makes a difference.

Thanks Collins,

                          i have reduced the EIRP and its working fine now.
