To set up channel configuration, proceed as follows:
1. From the top menu bar, select “View | Network topology”
2. Right-click the item (access point or network) for which you want to set up a channel
configuration and select “Channels”
3. Select the allowed channels
4. Select “Save”
7signal Sapphire Enterprise extends this functionality such that all access points or networks
within the service area can have their own allowed and forbidden channels. This allows
Sapphire to monitor the channel configuration in several networks, and to obtain
information on other networks that use channels in unexpected ways. One obvious area of
application for channel configuration is office hotels, which have several small wireless
networks that can interfere with each other.
Extended channel configuration is a feature in the enterprise edition and requires a license.
Each version of Sapphire supports channel configuration in managed networks. To monitor
external networks, you need the enterprise license or some other license model that
supports channel configuration. Without a suitable license, accessing channel configuration
in the user interface does nothing.
