
Dashboard Conventions
The Radio RF Quality Index field displays a RF quality table for the access point’s single default RF Domain. It’s a
percentage of the overall effectiveness of the RF environment. It’s a function of the data rate in both directions, the
retry rate and the error rate.
Figure 4-4 Radio RF Quality Index
RF Quality displays as the average quality index for the single RF Domain utilized by the access point. The table lists
the bottom five (5) RF quality values for the RF Domain.
The quality is measured as:
• 0-20 – Very poor quality
• 20-40 – Poor quality
• 40-60 – Average quality
• 60-100 – Good quality
The access point’s RF Domain allows an administrator to assign configuration data to multiple devices deployed in a
common coverage area, such as in a floor, building or site. The RF Domain contains policies that can determine a
Smart RF or WIPS configuration.
Use this diagnostic information to define measures to improve radio performance in respect to wireless client load
and radio band.
