Advanced Spectrum Analysis

Advanced Spectrum Analysis (ASA) is the next generation of Spectrum Analysis. ASA has four customizable views, each with its own set of default charts:

• Utilization—Displays charts showing how your network is being utilized. The default charts are:
  • Device Count
  • RF Quality Index
  • Duty Cycle.
• Physical Layer—Displays charts that highlight the physical layer of your network. The default charts are:
  • Spectrogram
  • Duty Cycle.
• Interference—Displays charts showing interference sources in your network. The default charts are:
  • Interference
  • Spectral Density.
• Spectrum Detail—Displays charts showing the spectrum details of your network. The default charts are:
  • Spectrogram
  • Real Time FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)
  • Spectral Density.

Note

APs 7522 and 7532 do not support Spectrum Analysis or Advanced Spectrum Analysis when running in RadioShare mode. When the APs are configured as dedicated sensors, both SA and ASA are enabled and fully functional.

The Advanced Spectrum Analysis topic in Configuration chapter fully explains how to confiure and use the Advanced Spectrum Analysis tool.
