Table 42: Select Shutdown Settings
Field
Description
Enable
Select to enable auto-shutdown of radios causing interference within the Smart RF
monitored network.
Auto-shutdown of select 2.4 GHz radios, in dual-band networks, maintains CCI levels
within specified limits. When enabled, Smart-RF monitors CCI levels to ensure that
the deployment average CCI remains within specified minimum and maximum limits.
If the deployment average CCI is found to exceed the maximum threshold, 2.4 GHz
radios, causing neighbor interference, are shut down one-by-one until the
deployment average CCI falls below the specified maximum threshold. The reverse
process occurs when the deployment average CCI falls below the minimum
threshold. In this scenario, previously disabled radios are enabled until the
deployment average CCI reaches acceptable levels.
CCI High Threshold
Determines the maximum CCI threshold from -85 to -55 dBm. The default value is
-80 dBm. This value indicates the upper limit for the deployment average CCI range.
CCI Low Threshold
Determines the minimum CCI threshold from -85 to -55 dBm. The default value is
-100 dBm. This value indicates the lower limit for the deployment average CCI range.
Frequency
Determines the Shutdown interval in minutes. When the deployment average CCI
exceeds the specified maximum threshold, Smart RF shuts down 2.4 GHz radios until
the CCI reaches acceptable levels. Use this option, to configure the interval between
successive radio shutdowns. Valid values are 0 - 3600 minutes. The default is 60.
Frequency Limiter
Indicates the value by which to multiply the OCS scan period to determine the
minimum Frequency setting.

Configuring a Floor Plan
Use the floor plan tool to visualize a wireless deployment, plan device placement for APs and switches,
and troubleshoot network performance issues. The floor plan illustrates the location of the devices and
how the devices affect network performance. You can visualize device performance based on signal
strength and channel assignment, and verify network readiness within a floor plan.
A site can have multiple floor plans, usually a plan for each floor of a building. The devices represented
in the map must come from the same site.
Note
Floor plan limits depend on the appliance. See
on page 18.
Badges provide real-time statistics for APs. (APs can also be excluded from a simulation.)
To use the floor plan feature for the first time, follow this process:
1 Click the plus sign to add a new floor plan.
2 Upload a background image.
3 Set the environment and scale.
4 Draw the boundary walls.
