Converting an AP to a Spectrum Monitor
In spectrum mode, spectrum monitoring is performed on entire bands and the AP functions
as a dedicated full-spectrum RF monitor, scanning all channels to detect interference,
whether from the neighboring APs or from non-Wi-Fi devices such as microwaves and
cordless phones.
By default, spectrum monitoring is performed on a higher band of the 5 GHz radio.
You can configure an AP to function as a stand-alone spectrum monitor by using the
SCALANCE W UI or the CLI.
To convert an AP to a spectrum monitor:
1. In the Access Points tab, click the AP that you want to convert to a spectrum monitor.
2. Click the edit link.
3. Click the
tab.
