Wireless Radio Settings on R710 to limit my interfering with other nearby networks

Hi, I am an inexperienced AP user. have recently purchased a Ruckus R710, which I have successfully integrated in a LAN for my Digital Image Technician equipment on film sets. I use it to control camera settings and other equipment remotely. Works great. But I'd like to make it work in a more refined way that won't interfere with equipment used by other folks in my department on set, like the 1st Assistant Camera, who control focus wirelessly,  or the DP, who controls the camera iris remotely. 

As I understand it, the Ruckus natively scans the available RF channels to pick the best one at any given moment. I'm afraid this approach would be bad for other devices I think what I need to do is tell the Ruckus to not use certain channels. I found the "Wireless Radio Settings" on the Unleased Dashboard, but I'm unclear on the correct settings for what I'm after. 

Is there somewhere to set such a feature in this "Wireless Radio Settings" as described here: https://docs.cloud.ruckuswireless.com/LTE/GUID-5EEBB790-DEB2-40A3-9BFA-466A610775C6.html or is the cloud an additional purchase? And would that cloud purchase allow me to limit the channels used?

Or perhaps I just need to tell the Ruckus not to scan so often, which might limit the number of interference hits for other devices not on my network? mine is set to search every 20 seconds, which seems like a lot, but I don't have any standard by which to ascertain whether it is or not.

ChannelFly sounds awesome, but I don't know that it would suit what I need as on sets, the devices present on other channels will constantly change, so I'm not sure its form of analysis would produce ideal results. 

Again, I'm new to this. Though it is ancillary to my job (which is to 'live' adjust the color of digital video) the  Ruckus R710 seems like a very powerful tool that I'm beginning to understand how to use it.

Your guidance is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @stephenlatty 
If you are looking for the settings as mentioned in the link provided, below are the location in Unleashed:
Channel Selection\Channel Bandwidth\Tx power : Access Points >> Summary >> Edit

Channel Selection Method can be found under : Admin & Services >> Services >> Radio Control >> Self Healing.
On the same page under Background Scanning, you can se the timer for Background scanning interval.
You can set the time for 600 seconds if the deployment site is good and you do not want scan to happen very frequently.
