Smart RF

When invoked by an administrator, Smart RF (Self-Monitoring At Run Time) instructs Access Point (AP) radios to change to a specific channel and begin beaconing using the maximum available transmit power. Within a well-planned deployment, any RF Domain member AP radio should be reachable by at least one other radio. Smart RF records signals received from its neighbors as well as signals from external, unmanaged radios. AP-to-AP distance is recorded in terms of signal attenuation. The information from external radios is used during channel assignment to minimize interference.

By examining Smart RF statistics, administrators are able to assess the efficiency of RF Domains and take action where necessary.

Go to Statistics > Smart RF.

The Smart RF window displays a list of Sites managed by the controller. If a Smart RF policy is assigned to a site, the Policy Name is identified.

To view Smart RF statistics for an RF domain, select a site under the Site Name column that has an associated Smart RF policy. The Smart RF statistics are arranged under the following tabs:
