Spectrum analysis
(Only supported on the HP 425, MSM430, MSM460, and MSM466/466-R.)
RRM gathers spectrum analysis samples to derive a measure of the non-802.11 RF noise for each
scanned channel. This is used for channel-planning purposes and as one indicator of severe RF
interference.
RRM also uses an intensive-sampling mode of operation to classify an RF interference source when
a channel-switch is needed due to significant RF interference.
Defining RRM scanning settings for a radio
Radio scanning settings can be defined globally for all APs in the system (base group), or at the
group level. The following procedure illustrates configuration of the base group. Configuration of
settings at the group level is identical.
To customize scanning settings for an AP, select Controlled APs >> Radio management and then
select an AP in the list.
Scanning is controlled by the options selected for Operating Mode, Channel, Transmit power
control, and Neighborhood scanning. Scanning services are used by both RRM and IDS.
