Spectrum Intelligence

(Applies to APs only). Spectrum Intelligence provides a live view of the RF (radio frequency) environment to help you plan for future VLAN deployment or troubleshoot VLAN issues such as high retransmission rates caused by device interference or slow connections due to overuse. There are two main spectrum intelligence functions: providing a graphical rendering of the RF environment in an FFT (fast Fourier transform) trace and swept spectrogram and identifying interfering devices, such as cordless phones and microwave ovens.
