Configuring Smart RF Interference Recovery Settings

1. Select Interference Recovery.
   

   SMART RF - Advanced Configuration Screen - Interference Recovery Tab

   
2. Set the following Interference Recovery parameters:

   Interference	Select this option to allow the Smart RF policy to scan for excess interference from supported radio devices. WLANs are susceptible to sources of interference, such as neighboring radios, cordless phones, microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices. When interference for WiFi sources is detected, Smart RF supported devices can change the channel and move to a cleaner channel. This feature is enabled by default.
   Noise	Select this option to allow the Smart RF policy to scan for excess noise from WiFi devices. When detected, Smart RF supported access points can change their channel and move to a cleaner channel. This feature is enabled by default.
   Noise Factor	Set the noise factor (level of network interference detected) taken into consideration by Smart RF during interference recovery calculations. Set a value from 1.0 - 3.0.
   Channel Hold Time	Define the minimum time between channel changes during neighbor recovery. Set the time in either seconds (0 - 86,400), minutes (0 - 1,440), hours (0 - 24), or days (0 - 1). The default setting is 30 minutes.
   Client Threshold	Set a client threshold for the Smart RF policy between 1 - 255. If the set threshold number of clients are connected to a radio, the radio does not change its channel, even though required, based on the interference recovery determination made by the smart master. The default setting is 50.
   5 GHz Channel Switch Delta	Set a channel switch delta (interference delta), from 5 - 35 dBm, for the 5.0 GHz radio. This parameter is the difference between noise levels on the current channel and a prospective channel. If the difference is below the configured threshold, the channel will not change. The default setting is 20 dBm.
   2.4 GHz Channel Switch Delta	Set a channel switch delta (interference delta), from 5 - 35 dBm, for the 2.4 GHz radio. This parameter is the difference between noise levels on the current channel and a prospective channel. If the difference is below the configured threshold, the channel will not change. The default setting is 20 dBm.
