144 CHAPTER 5: PLANNING THE 3COM MOBILITY SYSTEM
Assigning MAP
Channels
If you do not plan to use the RF Auto-Tuning feature to automatically set
the channels on the MAPs after deployment and installation, use the
Assign Channels to MAPs option to assign channels to the MAPs.
Appropriate assignment of channels across the floor minimizes
co-channel interference. Figure 8 shows how to minimize co-channel
interference for an 802.11b environment when using the nonoverlapping
channels 1, 6, and 11.
