6 Select the Run Calibration option to initiate a calibration. New channel and power values are applied
to radios, they are not written to the running-configuration. These values are dynamic and may keep
changing during the course of the run-time monitoring and calibration the Smart RF module keeps
performing to continually maintain good coverage. Unlike an Interactive Calibration, the Smart RF
screen is not populated with the changes needed on access point radios to remedy a detected
coverage hole. Expand the screen to display the Event Monitor to track the progress of the
calibration.
The calibration process can be stopped by selecting the Stop Calibration button.
Operations Deployment Considerations
Before defining the access point’s configuration using the Operations menu, refer to the following
deployment guidelines to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:
●
If an access point’s (or its associated device’s) firmware is older than the version on the support site,
Extreme Networks recommends updating to the latest firmware version for full functionality and
utilization.
●
An access point must be rebooted to implement a firmware upgrade. Take advantage of the reboot
scheduling mechanisms available to the access point to ensure its continuously available during
anticipated periods of heavy wireless traffic utilization.
●
Within a well planned RF Domain, any associated radio should be reachable by at least one other
radio. Keep this in mind when utilizing the Smart RF feature to record signals from neighboring
access points. Access point to access point distance is recorded in terms of signal attenuation.
