Table 132: Device Support for Spectrum Analysis
The radios on groups of APs can be converted to dedicated spectrum monitors or hybrid APs via the AP group’s
dot11a and dot11g radio profiles. Individual APs can also be converted to spectrum monitors through the AP’s
spectrum override profile.
The spectrum analysis feature requires the RF Protect license. To convert an AP to a spectrum monitor or hybrid AP,
you must have an AP license and an RFProtect license for each AP on that controller.
The Spectrum Analysis section of the Monitoring tab in the WebUI includes the Spectrum Monitors,
Session Log, and Spectrum Dashboards windows.
l Spectrum Monitors: this window displays a list of active spectrum monitors and hybrid APs streaming
data to your client, the radio band the device is monitoring, and the date and time the SM or hybrid AP was
connected to your client. This window allows you to select the spectrum monitors or hybrid APs for which
you want to view information, and release the connection between your client and any device you no longer
want to view.
l Session Log: this tab displays activity for spectrum monitors and hybrid APs during the current browser
session, including timestamps showing when the devices were connected to and disconnected from the
client, and any changes to a hybrid APs monitored channel.
l Spectrum Dashboards: this window shows different user-customizable data charts for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz
spectrum monitor or hybrid AP radios. Table 133 below gives a basic description of each of the spectrum
analysis graphs that can appear on the spectrum dashboard.
For more detailed information on these graphs, refer to Customizing Spectrum Analysis Graphs on page 713.
