Channel Details
When you move your mouse over a channel, the channel details or the summary of the 5 GHz and
2.4 GHz channels as detected by a spectrum monitor are displayed. You can view the aggregate
data for each channel seen by the spectrum monitor radio, including the maximum AP power,
interference and the Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SNIR). Spectrum monitors display
spectrum analysis data seen on all channels in the selected band, and hybrid W-IAPs display data
from the one channel they are monitoring.
