Configuring the Spectrum Analysis Dashboards
Once you have connected spectrum monitors to your spectrum analysis client, you can begin to monitor
spectrum data in the spectrum analysis dashboards. There are two predefined sets of dashboard views, View1, and
View 2. By default, View1 displays the Real-Time FFT, FFT Duty-Cycle and Swept Spectrogram graphs, and
View 2 displays the Swept Spectrogram and Quality Spectrogram charts, and the Channel Summary and Active
Devices tables.
Each chart in the dashboard can be replaced with other chart types, or reconfigured to show data for a different
spectrum monitor. Once you have configured a dashboard view with different settings, you can rename that
dashboard view to better reflect its new content.
The following sections explain how to customize your Spectrum Analysis Dashboard to best suit the needs of
your individual network.

Selecting a Spectrum Monitor
When you first log into the Spectrum Analysis dashboard, it will display blank charts. You must identify the
spectrum monitor whose information you want to view before the graphs will be able to display any data.
To identify the spectrum monitor radio whose data you want to appear in the Spectrum Analysis dashboard:
1. Access the Monitoring>Spectrum Analysis window in the WebUI.
2. Click the Spectrum Dashboards tab.
3. In the graph title bar, click the down arrow by the Please select a spectrum monitor heading, as shown in
Figure 133. A drop-down list appears with the name of all spectrum monitor and hybrid AP radios currently
connected to the client.

4. Select a spectrum monitor from the list. The spectrum monitor or hybrid AP name will appear in the chart
titlebar and the chart will start displaying data for that spectrum monitor.
After you have selected the initial spectrum monitor or hybrid AP for a graph, you can display data for a different
spectrum device at any time by clicking the down arrow by the device name in the chart titlebar and selecting a
different connected spectrum monitor or hybrid AP.
