RF Domain Inventory
Refer to the following RF domain inventory data collected by member
controllers, service platforms or access points:
To review the RF domain inventory:
- Expand the System node to display RF domains.
- Select an RF domain. The Health tab
displays by default
- Select the Inventory tab.
- The Inventory tab displays information on the devices managed by RF
domain member devices in the controller, service platform or access point
managed network. The Inventory screen enables an administrator to overview of
the number and state of the devices in the selected RF domain. Information is
displayed in easy to read tables and graphs.
- The Device
Types table displays the devices types populating the RF domain.
The Device Type area displays an exploded pie chart that displays the type of
device and their numbers in the RF domain.
- The Radios
by Band table displays a bar graph of RF domain member device
radios classified by their radio band or sensor dedication. Review this
information to assess whether RF domain member radios adequately support client
device traffic requirements.
- The Radios
by Channel table displays pie charts of the different channels
utilized by RF domain member radios. These dedicated channels should be as
segregated as possible from one another to avoid interference. If too many
radios are utilizing a single channel, consider off-loading radios to non
utilized channels to improve RF domain performance.
- The Top 5
Radios by Clients table displays a list of radios that have the
highest number of clients. This list displays the radio IDs as links that can
be selected to display individual radio information in greater detail.
- The WLANs table displays a list of WLANs utilized by RF domain
member devices. The table is ordered by WLAN member device radio count and
their number of connected clients. Use this information to assess whether the
WLAN is overly populated by radios and clients contributing to congestion.
- The Clients
by Band table displays the radio band utilization of connected
RF domain member clients. Assess whether the client band utilization adequately
supports the intended radio deployment objectives of the connected RF domain
member access point radios.
- The Client
by Channels table displays a bar-graph of wireless clients
classified by their frequency. Information for each channel is further
classified by their 802.11x band. In the 5GHz channel, information is displayed
classified under 802.11a and 802.11an bands. In the 2.4 GHz channel,
information is displayed classified under 802.11b, 802.11bg, and 802.11bgn
band.
