Scan Settings for Smart RF
A Smart RF policy can reduce deployment costs by scanning the RF environment to determine the best
channel and transmit power configuration for each radio. Scan settings define the quality and duration
of the RF scan. Scanning and recovery parameters have a defined sensitivity: Low, Medium, or High.
ExtremeWireless WiNG AP models AP5xx, AP76xx, and AP8xxx support custom sensitivity settings.
To set custom sensitivity:
1 Go to Basic Settings > Sensitivity and select Custom.
2 From the Scanning tab configure the following parameters:

Field Description
Smart Monitoring Enabled When enabled, detector radios monitor their coverage areas for
potential failed peers or coverage area holes requiring transmission
adjustments for coverage compensation.
OCS Monitoring Awareness Override Overrides OCS scanning. Smart RF relies on O-Channel Scanning
(OCS) to monitor the RF environment in real-time, allowing managed
radios to adapt to changes in the RF environment. OCS can negatively
impact some devices. When enabled, OCS checks for sensitive clients
(for example, Voice and Power Save clients). If sensitive clients are
found, OCS is skipped, and the Number of Threshold Awareness Hits
counter is incremented.
Number of Threshold Awareness Hits Enabled once you enable OCS Monitoring Awareness Override.
When OCS is skipped, the OCS Awareness Hits counter is incremented.
When it reaches the Number of Threshold Awareness Hits, OCS
starts, even if sensitive clients may be negatively aected. This is
because information about other channels is vital.
This setting indicates when channel jumping for OCS will begin
regardless of the OCS Monitoring Awareness Override setting. If you
increase this value, channel jumping will wait, resulting in better
service to sensitive clients but presenting limited information about
other channels. The default value is 10.
Scan Duration [Milliseconds] The length of time the scan occurs in milliseconds. Valid values are
20-150. The default value is 50 for both radios.
Scan Period [Seconds] The scan frequency interval in seconds. Valid values are 1-120. The
default value is 6 seconds.
Extended Scan Frequency The frequency that radios scan on channels other than their peer
radios. Valid values are 0 - 50.The default setting is 5 for both the 5
GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.
