11.Enable or disable

Smart Monitoring Enable

by selecting the check box. The feature is enabled by default.

When enabled, detector radios monitor their coverage areas for potential failed peers or coverage area holes
requiring transmission adjustments for coverage compensation.

12.Set the following

Scanning Configurations

for

both

the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands:

13.Select

OK

to update the Smart RF Scanning Configuration settings. Select

Reset

to revert to the last saved

configuration.

14.Select

Recovery

. Ensure Activate SMART RF Policy remains selected so the screen’s parameters can be updated.

The

Neighbor Recovery

tab displays by default. Use the

Neighbor

,

Interference

and

Coverage Hole

recovery

tabs to define how 5 and 2.4 GHz radios compensate for failed neighbor radios, interference and coverage holes
requiring neighbor radio intervention.

Duration

Set a channel scan duration (between 20 - 150 milliseconds) access point
radios use to monitor devices within the network and, if necessary, perform
self healing and neighbor recovery to compensate for coverage area losses
within a RF Domain. The default setting is 50 milliseconds for both the 2.4
and 5 GHz bands.

Frequency

Set the scan frequency using the drop-down menu. Set a scan frequency in
either

Seconds

(1 - 120) or

Minutes

(0 - 2). The default setting is 6 seconds

for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.

Extended Scan
Frequency

Use the spinner control to set an extended scan frequency between 0 - 50.
This is the frequency radios scan channels on non-peer radios. The default
setting is 5 for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.

Sample Count

Use the spinner control to set a sample scan count value between 1 - 15.
This is the number of radio RF readings gathered before data is sent to the
Smart RF master. The default setting is 5 for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.

Client Aware
Scanning

Use the spinner control to set a client awareness count (0 - 255) during off
channel scans for either the 2.4 or 5. GHz radio. The default setting is 0 for
both radio bands.

Power Save Aware
Scanning

Select either the

Dynamic

,

Strict

or

Disable

radio button to define how

power save scanning is set for Smart RF. Strict disables smart monitoring
as long as a power save capable client is associated to a radio. Dynamic
disables smart monitoring as long as there is data buffered for a power
save client at the radio. The default setting is Dynamic for both the 5 and
2.4 GHz bands.

Voice Aware
Scanning

Select either the

Dynamic

,

Strict

or

Disable

radio button to define how

voice aware recognition is set for Smart RF. Strict disables smart
monitoring as long as a voice client is associated to a radio. Dynamic
