Important Points

• The 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. is currently supported by 630 Series access points (AP-635) only.

• AP-635 access points support up to 512 clients for each radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation..

• AP-635 access points do not support uplink and downlink MU-MIMO Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output. MU-MIMO is a set of multiple-input and multiple-output technologies for wireless communication, in which users or wireless terminals with one or more antennas communicate with each other. transmission. The uplink and downlink HE MU-MIMO Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output. MU-MIMO is a set of multiple-input and multiple-output technologies for wireless communication, in which users or wireless terminals with one or more antennas communicate with each other. transmission remain disabled even though they are enabled on the managed device through the WebUI or the CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions..

• The 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. supports channel numbers from 1 to 233. The available 20 Mhz, 40 Mhz, 80 MHz Megahertz, and 160 MHz Megahertz channels are dependent on the country code entered in the regulatory domain profile.

• The 6 GHz Gigahertz. channel information is not populated in the existing regulatory domain profile by default. To add 6 GHz Gigahertz. channels, you must change the country code to a different country code, apply the change, and then revert it to the original country code. Another option is to create a new profile or copy the existing regulatory domain profile into a new regulatory domain profile to save the configuration.

• The virtual APs in 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. are disabled by default and must be enabled manually in the WLAN Wireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a 802.11 standards-based LAN that the users access through a wireless connection. SSID Service Set Identifier. SSID is a name given to a WLAN and is used by the client to access a WLAN network. settings on virtual APs.

Multiple BSSID

Multiple BSSID Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID identifies a particular BSS within an area. In infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. (MBSSID) is a mandatory 802.11ax feature for Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. 6E APs, which supports multiple virtual APs of a radio without the need for full beacons for each virtual AP. This feature advertises information for multiple BSSIDs Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID identifies a particular BSS within an area. In infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. by using a single beacon or probe response frame instead of multiple beacon or probe response frames, each corresponding to a single BSSID Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID identifies a particular BSS within an area. In infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.. MBSSID uses 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio profile and includes support for Multiband Operation (MBO) for 6 GHz Gigahertz. radios in addition to 802.11K profile, beacon rates, location and AP name advertisement (advertised in the transmitted virtual AP), 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio basic rates, and 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio transmit rates.

Channels in 6 GHz Radio

The 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio uses 59 new channels of 20 MHz Megahertz bandwidth and the channel numbers overlap with the current 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. and 5 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. The regulatory domain file is used to build the channel scan list according to the current configuration and corresponding flags are assigned. A new flag, SCT_PSC, indicates if the channel is a Preferred Scan Channel (PSC). A PSC is spaced every 80 MHz Megahertz apart. Table 1 lists the channel flags.

Table 1: Channel Flags in 6 GHz Radio

Flag	Description
SCT_DOS	Channel marked to send containment frames.
SCT_CC	Valid channel for the country code (regulatory domain).
SCT_AP	Channels where wifi activity was detected.
SCT_DEFAULT	Channels valid in any country code.
SCT_RARE	Invalid or unused channel in most countries.

For 6 the GHz Gigahertz. radio, the group scanning mode is enabled. Group scanning uses the maximum scan channel width possible to scan. To cover each primary channel across each group, the scan algorithm reorders the channel scanning by group. After every scan group is completed the scanning algorithm starts on a new scan group. When all groups are completed, the scan algorithm will start scanning at the first element of the list.
