 RF Domain
When invoked by an administrator, Self-Monitoring At Run Time (Smart RF) instructs radios to change to a
specific channel and begin beaconing using the maximum available transmit power. Within a well-planned
deployment, any associated radio should be reachable by at least one other radio. Smart RF records signals
received from its neighbors as well as signals from external, un-managed radios. AP-to-AP distance is
recorded in terms of signal attenuation. The information from external radios is used during channel
assignment to minimize interference.
To view Smart RF statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select the RF Domain tab from the left navigation pane and then select the RF Domain node.
3. Select SMART RF.
