Glossary

Conﬁgure the following parameters:

Field Description

CRC Errors Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors should not exceed the

speciﬁed percentage value. Use the spinner control to set this

threshold value.

Excessive BSSs BSSs on your network are considered excessive if the speciﬁed

value is exceeded. Use the spinner control to set this threshold

value.

Excessive Clients Wireless clients on your network are considered excessive if the

speciﬁed value is exceeded. Use the spinner control to set this

threshold value.

Avg. Signal Strength (dBm) The average signal strength (in dBm) of APs on your network

should not exceed the speciﬁed value. Use the slider to set this

threshold value in the range of -100 dBm and -1 dBm.

BSSs per Channel The number of BSSs on any particular channel should not exceed

the speciﬁed value. Use the spinner control to set this threshold

value.

Channel Noise (dBm) Channel noise is monitored to ensure that the noise does not

exceed the speciﬁed value. Use the slider to set this threshold value

in the range of -100 dBm and -1 dBm.

Missing BSS Alarm if unobserved When this switch is selected, it generates a missing BSS alarm when

any of the threshold values are exceeded.

Missing Client Alarm if

unobserved

When this switch is selected, it generates a missing Client alarm

when any of the threshold values are exceeded.

Use the APPLY button located to the top right of this window to save your changes.

Apply Environment Monitoring Conﬁguration

If you need to apply a dierent set of Environment Monitoring conﬁgurations at a speciﬁc level in your

Extreme AirDefense hierarchy, navigate to the level in Structure & Tags pane and select it. Use the

control's Override option to apply the alternate conﬁguration at

that level.

For more information see the section Overriding Conﬁguration Settings in this document.

Overriding Conﬁguration Settings

The Enable Conﬁguration switch is only available at the top most node of the Structure & Tags pane.

Conﬁgurations can only be applied when this switch is set to ON. The top most node is always named

ADSP and you must use this switch to apply the selected conﬁguration through out the Extreme

AirDefense system.

By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits conﬁguration from the level above it

unless explicitly overridden.
