Advanced Spectrum Analysis
Note
A Spectrum Analysis license is required to access this feature.
Advanced Spectrum Analysis is the next generation of Spectrum Analysis. Advanced Spectrum Analysis
will only run on devices with the MB92 or newer chipsets. Currently, only the models AP621, AP622,
AP6511, AP6521, AP6522, and AP8132 can run this enhanced version of Spectrum Analysis.
Note
If an AP6521 is configured in the AP/radioshare mode, Advanced Spectrum Analysis will only
run if the Scan Type is In-Line.
The new version of Spectrum Analysis is accessed the same way. Just click the drop-down menu button
for a Sensor and then select Spectrum Analysis from the drop-down menu.
Select File > Close to exit the Spectrum View window. You will be prompted to save the scan to an
AirDefense file. An AirDefense file can be opened by navigating to Menu > Open > Spectrum Analysis.
Scanning
A dedicated scan starts automatically when the Spectrum View window is opened. There are three
conditions that may prevent a scan from starting. They are:
• The Sensor is already running a dedicated RF scan for any user
• Another user is running Live View on the Sensor
• Ten scans are already running (maximum supported).
