ASA In-Line Settings

The ASA In-Line Settings tab is used to configure sensor settings for Advanced Spectrum Analysis.

These settings are for the ASA In-Line based scan, not for the Dedicated scan. There are four settings: two for 2.4 GHz band and two for 5GHz band. The values in the fields are the default settings. Normally, these levels are fine for normal use and should not have to be changed.

Threshold (dBm)—This is the master level control for ASA scanning. Any signal levels below the threshold during scanning will be dropped. Only levels greater than the threshold will be admitted for further processing.

Duty Cycle (dBm)—The duty cycle is a measure of % utilization for each frequency. 100% duty cycle for a frequency indicates the frequency is busy all the time. On the other hand, 0% duty cycle indicates the frequency is not used. The Duty Cycle controls the threshold level for duty cycle measurement. Only signal levels greater than the Duty Cycle threshold are counted in the duty cycle measurement.
