Automatic AM to AP configuration during AP failure

    I have seen two features in Air monitors(AM) documentation but unable to find the configuration for it in controller. Could anyone help where these settings available in controller?

     

    Feature 1 : Fault Tolerance
    Dedicated AMs increase reliability of the network by acting as redundant APs. In the event of an AP failure, an AM can be set to notice the failure, automatically convert itself into an AP, and alert the network manager without noticeable downtime.
    Feature 1 : Future Capacity
    AMs, sensing high traffic in the network, can be set up to notice the traffic and convert themselves into APs for on-demand overflow coverage during high demand situations like a large company meeting.

    Hello!

     

    I might be wrong but I think you might be looking for "mode aware".

     

    "

    If enabled, ARM will turn APs into Air Monitors (AMs) if it detects higher coverage levels than necessary. This helps avoid higher levels of interference on the WLAN. Although this setting is disabled by default, you may want to enable this feature if your APs are deployed in close proximity (e.g. less than 60 feet apart).

    Mode aware ARM turns Air Monitors back into APs when they detect gaps in coverage. Note that an Air Monitor will not turn back into an AP if it detects client traffic (or client traffic increases), but will change to an AP only if it detects coverage holes."
