Interference Recovery Settings for Smart RF

The following settings define thresholds for the Smart RF policy Interference Recovery plan supported on AP4xx and AP5xx. The default Smart RF policy enables Interference Recovery.

Note

Before you can edit these parameters, select Custom Sensitivity from the Basic Smart RF configuration tab.

Select Recovery > Interference Recovery and configure the following parameters.

Table 1. Smart RF Interference Recovery Settings
Field	Description
Noise	When enabled, Smart RF policy scans for excess noise from wireless devices. When noise is detected, Smart RF-supported devices can move to a cleaner channel. Decision to move is based on Noise Factor setting. This feature is enabled in the default Smart RF policy.
Noise Factor	Define the level of network interference the Smart RF policy considers when calculating interference recovery. The default setting is 1.50. The range is 1.0 to 3.0.
Channel Hold Time	Defines the minimum time between channel changes during neighbor recovery. Set the time in seconds (1- 86,400). This setting prevents rapid channel changes.
Client Threshold	Defines the number of clients that must be associated with a radio channel to initiate an interference recovery override. When the client threshold is met, the associated channel remains fixed regardless of the interference level on the channel. Valid values are 1 - 255. This value depends on the RF Sensitivity setting on the Basic tab.
2.4 GHz Channel Switch Delta (dBm)	Defines the threshold for initiating a channel switch on the 2.4 GHz radio. Smart RF compares the difference between interference levels on the current channel and a prospective channel. If the difference is below the configured threshold, the channel does not change. Valid values are 5 - 35 dBm. This value depends on the RF Sensitivity setting on the Basic tab.
5 GHz Channel Switch Delta (dBm)	Defines the threshold for initiating a channel switch on the 5GHz radio. Smart RF compares the difference between interference levels on the current channel and a prospective channel. If the difference is below the configured threshold, the channel does not change. Valid values are 5 - 35 dBm. This value depends on the RF Sensitivity setting on the Basic tab.
6 GHz Channel Switch Delta (dBm)	Defines the threshold for initiating a channel switch on the 6GHz radio. Smart RF compares the difference between interference levels on the current channel and a prospective channel. If the difference is below the configured threshold, the channel does not change. Valid values are 5 — 35 dBm. This value depends on the RF Sensitivity setting on the Basic tab.
