| Policy | Displays the name assigned to the Smart RF policy when it was initially created. The name cannot be modified as part of the edit process |
| Status | A green check mark indicates that Smart RF has been activated for the listed policy. A red “X” designates the policy as being deactivated |
| Interference Recovery | A green check mark indicates that interference recovery has been activated for the listed policy. A red “X” designates the policy as being deactivated |
| Coverage Hole Recovery | A green check mark indicates that coverage hole recovery has been activated for the listed policy. A red “X” designates the policy as being deactivated |
| Neighbor Recovery | A green check mark indicates that neighbor recovery has been activated for the listed policy. A red “X” designates the policy as being deactivated |
to
add a new Smart RF policy or 
to
edit an existing Smart RF policy.
| Sensitivity | Select an option from the drop-down list box to configure
Smart RF sensitivity. The options include:
The Custom option allows an administrator to adjust the parameters and thresholds for Interference Recovery, Coverage Hole Recovery, and Neighbor Recovery. Using the Low, Medium (recommended), and High settings allows these features to be utilized |
| Policy Enable | Select Policy Enable to enable Smart RF for immediate inclusion within an RF Domain. Smart RF is selected by default |
| Interference Recovery | Select Interface Recovery to enable compensations from neighboring radios when radio interference is detected. When interference is detected, Smart RF first determines the power increase needed based on the signal to noise ratio for a client (as seen by the access point radio). If a client‘s signal to noise value is above the threshold, the transmit power is increased until the signal to noise rate falls below the threshold. This option is selected by default |
| Coverage Hole Recovery | Select Coverage Hole Recovery to enable coverage compensation from neighboring radios when a radio coverage hole is detected within the Smart RF supported radio coverage area. When a coverage hole is detected, Smart RF first determines the power increase needed based on the signal-to-noise ratio for a client as seen by the access point radio. If a client‘s signal-to-noise value is above the threshold, the transmit power is increased until the signal-to-noise rate falls below the threshold. This option is selected by default |
| Neighbor Recovery | Select Neighbor Recovery to enable Neighbor Recovery when a failed radio is detected within the Smart RF supported radio coverage area. Smart RF can provide automatic recovery by instructing neighboring APs to increase their transmit power to compensate for the coverage loss. Neighbor Recovery is selected by default when the sensitivity setting is Medium |
| Enable Smart Sensor | Select Enable
Smart Sensor to activate auto-provisioning
of access points as sensors. Select this option to
automatically turn on the sensor radios on 1/3rd of the
deployed access points Note: By
default, Smart RF selects and provisions only tri-radio
APs as sensors. To enable Smart RF to select dual-radio
APs, configure the Smart RF policy through the CLI and
run the
no
> smart-sensor > tri-radio-only
command |
| Auto Trigger | Select Auto
Trigger to enable smart-sensor settings
automatically Note: The
smart-sensor calibration is auto-triggered when
smart-sensor is enabled for the first time. In case a
re-calibration is required, manually issue the
trigger-smartsensor on command through the
CLI to activate the algorithm. Re-calibration maybe
needed if you change the number of APs deployed or the
AP deployment pattern within the RF
Domain |
| Algorithm Cell Size | Select Algorithm
Cell Size to enable the use of an
algorithmic function to identify the sensor APs. The WiNG
Smart-sensor feature uses an algorithm to provision APs
as sensor within a site (RF Domain). The algorithm
creates a cluster of cells based on inputs from the
Smart-RF neighbor table. Each cell in the cluster
represents an AP and adjacent cells are the AP's
neighbor. The algorithm then identifies APs with best
coverage area and provisions them as sensors. However,
the algorithmic calculations vary depending on the cell
size. The current implementation provides two algorithms
based on the cell size (dense, none, or sparse). Select
the algorithm best suited for your deployment:

| Smart Band | Select the radio band frequency to work with smart sensor |
| Tri-Radio | Select to enable smart senor only on tri-radio access points |
