The Spectrum Settings control in the Sensor Manager screen controls the Advanced Spectrum Analysis (ASA) configuration parameters.
The settings in this control are for the Advanced Spectrum Analysis In-Line based scan. They are not for the Dedicated scan. Four settings are available for configuration, two (2) each for the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. The values in these fields are the default settings for these bands. These settings will work for normal use and they should not have to be changed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| 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) | Duty cycle is a measure of the percentage (%) of utilization for each frequency. 100% duty cycle for a frequency indicates that the frequency is busy all the time. On the other hand, 0% duty cycle indicates the frequency is not used at all. The Duty Cycle value controls the threshold level for duty cycle measurement. Only signal levels greater than the Duty Cycle threshold are counted in the duty cycle measurement. |
