Adaptive noise immunity for reducing interference on the WLAN

A wireless LAN can be subjected to interference from various sources. Devices such as microwave ovens or cordless phones interfere with data transmission, and even the network devices themselves can emit interference and hinder communications. Each type of interference has its own characteristics. Adaptive noise immunity (ANI) enables the access point to use different error conditions to determine the best way to compensate for the interference. By automatically increasing noise immunity, the size of the radio cell can be reduced to mitigate the impact of interference on the data transfer.

The current values and any previous actions are to be found on the command line under Status > WLAN > Noise-Immunity.

You can enable adaptive noise immunity in LANconfig under Wireless LAN > General > Interfaces > Physical WLAN settings > Radio.

To enable the adaptive noise immunity function, go to the Radio tab and set the value in the selection field Adaptive noise immunity to "On".

Note: Adaptive noise immunity is a component of LANCOM Active Radio Control (ARC)
