Analyzing the spectrum
To use the built-in spectrum analyzer functionality of the SM (or AP that is temporarily configured as an SM
for spectrum analysis via the AP’s GUI) proceed as follows:
Procedure 3 Analyzing the spectrum
1
Predetermine a power source and interface that will work for the SM in the area you want to
analyze.
2
Take the SM, power source, and interface device to the area.
3
Access the Tools web page of the SM.
4
Click Start Timed Spectrum Analysis
5
After 10 seconds, the results are displayed:
6
Travel to another location in the area.
7
Click Start Timed Spectrum Analysis
8
Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until the area has been adequately scanned and logged.
As with any other data that pertains to your business, a decision today to put the data into a retrievable
database may grow in value to you over time. The Spectrum Analyzer contains configurable parameters to fit
your business requirements. See the PMP 450 Operations Guide for further information.
Wherever you find the measured noise level is greater than the sensitivity of the radio that you plan to
deploy, use the noise level (rather than the link budget) for your link feasibility calculations.
