8.3.8.7 Local and Peer Channel Spectrum Graphics

Spectrum Management presents its computed statistical measurements in a graphical display

on both the master and slave DFS web page.

Figure 58 - Sample Spectrum Management Graphic

The X-axis shows a stylized view of the selectable wireless channels. See section 5 “General

Considerations” for further information. The display separates the display of channels to help

the clarity of the resultant display. The axis is labeled using the channel center frequencies in

MHz.

The Y-axis shows the interference power levels from –100 to –40 dBm.

The active channel (channel 1 in Figure 58) is always marked using hatched green and white

lines. The width of the hatching is directly proportional to the spectral occupancy of the

channel.

The individual channel metrics are displayed using a colored bar, an ‘I’ bar and a peak

symbol. The colored bar represents the following channel state:

Green

Active

The channel is currently in use hosting the Point-to-Point
wireless link

Orange

Interference

The channel has interference above the interference
threshold

Blue

Available

The channel has an interference level below the interference
threshold and is considered by the Spectrum Management
algorithm suitable for hosting the Point-to-Point link

Grey

Barred

The system administrator has barred this channel from use.
Because the low signal levels encountered when a unit is
powered up in a laboratory environment prior to installation
(which makes the grey of the channel bar difficult to see). An
additional red ‘lock’ symbol is used to indicate that a channel
is barred.

The top of the colored bar represents the 99.9% percentile metric for specific channel.
