Viewing Overloaded Channels
RF Analysis shows devices operating in each channel. A
warning is displayed when it detects more than four active APs
in the same channel, regardless of how strong the signal
strength is.
Information about each discovered access point includes:
SSID, MAC, signal strength, and channel. Two values are
shown for signal strength: dBm and percentage value, where
higher numbers indicate stronger signals.
RFA Highly Interfered Channels
Access points working in adjacent channels (less than 5
channels apart) can also interfere with each other.
The RF Analysis feature displays a warning when a SonicPoint
appliance detects more than five active access points nearby
operating in adjacent channels.
Again, regardless of the signal strength from interfering access
points, RF Analysis marks the channel as highly interfered.
