: All bands can be used to avoid interference.
Notes on using 5GHz band
- Use of 5.2GHz band (W52) and 5.3GHz band (W53) outdoors is prohibited by the
radio regulations.
15
SX-AP-4800AN User's Guide
DFS
SX-AP-4800AN supports DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) of the IEEE 802.11h wireless
standard. When radar signals are detected, the channel will automatically be switched to
avoid interference with radar systems (e.g. weather radar, etc).
One alternative channel can individually be set for W53/W56 channels beforehand, which
will be used when radar signals are detected and the channel needs to be switched.
When alternative channels are not specified or radar signals are detected even for that
channel, SX-AP-4800AN switches the channel in order of the following:
DFS Channels (5GHz band)
W53 HT20 52 > 56 > 60 > 64 > 36
HT40 + 52 > 60 > 36
- 56 > 64 > 40
W56 HT20 100 > 104 > 108 > 112 > 116 > 120 > 124 > 128 > 132 > 136 > 140
HT40 + 100 > 108 > 116 > 124 > 132
- 104 > 112 > 120 > 128 > 136
TIP
- SX-AP-4800AN checks if there are radar signals on the DFS channels when it is powered on.
During this time, no wireless communication is allowed to SX-AP-4800AN.
- If radar signals are detected during or after SX-AP-4800AN is powered on, the channel needs
to be changed in order to avoid wireless interference. Therefore, if DFS channels are selected,
the channel could be changed automatically.
- The radar signals are monitored for a certain amount of time (*) after it is detected, while
wireless communication is disabled on SX-AP-4800AN then. Once radar signals are detected,
the channel will not be available for 30 mins. (* This time period diers depending on the
country.)
