4.6.2 ACS Whitelist and Blacklist Channels

The user can limit the channels used by ACS. The solution supports both a whitelist and a blacklist of channels. To use the channel blacklist, define a list of channels that will never be chosen when ACS selects a channel. To use the channel whitelist, define a list of channels that will be chosen only among those whitelisted.

Both whitelist and blacklist can be used simultaneously.
