RF Event Configuration
An AP’s event threshold profile configures Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) metrics, including high and
low watermarks for frame error rates and frame retry rates. When certain RF parameters are exceeded, these
events can signal excessive load on the network, excessive interference, or faulty equipment.
This profile and many of the detection parameters are disabled (value is 0) by default.
The following procedure details the steps to configure RF Event parameters.
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or
AP Specific tab.
n If you selected the AP Group tab, click the Edit button by the AP group name for which you want to
configure the RF Event profile.
n If you selected the AP Specific tab, click the Edit button by the AP for which you want to create the RF
Event profile.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the RF Management menu, then expand the RF Event Profile menu.
3. To edit an existing RF Event profile, select the profile you want to edit from the Profile Details window
pane.
-or-
4. To create a new profile, enter a new RF Event profile name in the field at the bottom of the Profile Details
window, then click Add. Next, select that profile name from the profile list to edit its parameters.
5. Configure your settings as detailed in Table 130 and click Apply to save your settings.
Parameter Description
Detect Frame Rate
Anomalies
Enable or disables detection of frame rate anomalies. This feature is
disabled by default.
Bandwidth Rate High
Watermark
If bandwidth in an AP exceeds this value, a bandwidth exceeded condition
exists. The value represents the percentage of maximum for a given
radio. (For 802.11b, the maximum bandwidth is 7 Mbps. For 802.11 a and
g, the maximum is 30 Mbps.) The recommended value is 85%.
Bandwidth Rate Low
Watermark
After a bandwidth exceeded condition exists, the condition persists until
bandwidth drops below this value. The recommended value is 70%.
Frame Error Rate High
Watermark
If the frame error rate (as a percentage of total frames in an AP) exceeds
this value, a frame error rate exceeded condition exists. The
recommended value is 16%.
