    Hi,

     

    AOS 3.4.5.0

     

    Our Arm profile currently has the assignment set as single-band. This was set up by Alcatel Support tech,

     

    My question is why would they suggest this setting and not use multi-band.

     

    Wouldn't you want ARM  to be considering both 5 GHZ and 2.4 GHZ in its calculations?

    That is correct.  If you have access points that are dual radio, single band is what you want it to be.

    You will get four options there and below Aruba gave  description for those:

    .

     

      disable: Disables ARM calibration and reverts APs back to default channel and power settings specified by the AP’s radio profile

     

     maintain: APs maintain their current channel and power settings. This setting can be used to maintain AP channel and power levels after ARM has initially selected the best settings.

     

     multi-band: For single-radio APs, this value computes ARM assignments for both 5 GHZ (802.11a) and 2.4 GHZ (802.11b/g) frequency bands.

     

      single-band: For dual-radio APs, this value enables APs to change transmit power and channels within their same frequency band, and to adapt to changing channel conditions. Default: single-band.
