Configuring Smart RF Neighbor Recovery Settings

To configure Smart RF recovery settings:

  1. Select Recovery.

    The Neighbor Recovery tab displays by default. Use the Neighbor, Interference, and Coverage Hole recovery tabs to define how 2.4 and 5.0 GHz radios compensate for failed neighbor radios, interference, coverage holes, and loss of root path requiring intervention by neighbor radios.

  2. Use the Power Hold Time field to define the minimum time between two radio power changes during neighbor recovery.
    Set the time in either seconds (0 - 3,600), minutes (0 - 60) or hours (0 - 1). The default setting is 0 seconds.

  3. Set the following Neighbor Recovery parameters:

    Note

    The recovery parameters within the Neighbor Recovery, Interference and Coverage Hole Recovery tabs are enabled only when Custom is selected as the Sensitivity setting from the Smart RF Basic Configuration screen.
    5 GHz Neighbor Power Threshold

    Set the maximum power increase threshold (from -85 to -55 dBm) the access point‘s 5.0 GHz radio uses if it is required to increase its output power to compensate for a failed radio within the access point‘s radio coverage area. The default value is -70 dBm.
    2.4 GHz Neighbor Power Threshold

    Set the maximum power increase threshold (from -85 to -55 dBm) the access point‘s 2.4 GHz radio uses if it is required to increase its output power to compensate for a failed radio within the access point‘s radio coverage area. The default value is -70 dBm.
  4. Set the following Dynamic Sample Recovery parameters:
    Dynamic Sample Enabled Select this option to enable dynamic sampling. Dynamic sampling enables an administrator to define how Smart RF adjustments are triggered by locking retry and threshold values. This option is disabled by default.
    Dynamic Sample Retries Set the number of retries (from 1 - 10) attempted before a power level adjustment is implemented to compensate for a potential coverage hole. The default setting is 3.
    Dynamic Sample Threshold

    Set the number of sample reports (1 - 30) used before dynamic sampling is invoked for a potential power change adjustment. The default setting is 5.
  5. Click OK to update the Smart RF Neighbor Recovery settings for this policy.
    Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
