Usage Guidelines
The Spectrum Analysis software module provides visibility into RF coverage, allowing you to troubleshoot RF
interference and identify the 802.11 devices on the network. APs that gather spectrum data are called Spectrum
Monitors, or SMs, and reference a spectrum profile that determines the band monitored by that SM radio. Note
that you can only convert a radio on an AP model W-AP105, W-AP120 Series, or W-AP90 Series to a spectrum
monitor. The spectrum analysis feature is not supported by any other AP model.
Example
The following command creates the spectrum profile spectrum5, and configures it to use the upper portion of the
5 Ghz radio band
