SMART RF
When invoked by an administrator, Self-Monitoring At Run Time (Smart RF) instructs Access Point
radios to change to a specific channel and begin beaconing using the maximum available transmit
power. Within a well-planned deployment, any RF Domain member Access Point radio should be
reachable by at least one other radio. Smart RF records signals received from its neighbors as well
as signals from external, un-managed radios. AP-to-AP distance is recorded in terms of signal
attenuation. The information from external radios is used during channel assignment to minimize
interference.
To view the Smart RF summary for RF Domain member Access Point radios:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select a RF Domain from under the System node on the top, left-hand side, of the screen.
3. Select SMART RF from the RF Domain menu.
4. Expand the SMART RF menu and select Summary.
The summary screen enables administrators to assess the efficiency of RF Domain
member device channel distributions, sources of interference potentially requiring Smart
RF adjustments, top performing RF Domain member device radios and the number of
power, channel and coverage changes required as part of a Smart RF performance
compensation activity.
Mesh Point Name
Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.
MP ID
The MP identifier is used to distinguish between other Mesh Points both on the same
device and on other devices. This is used by a user to setup the preferred root
configuration.
Proxy Address
Displays the MAC Address of the proxy used in the mesh point.
Age
Displays the age of the proxy connection for each of the mesh points in the RF Domain.
Proxy Owner
The Owner (MPID) is used to distinguish the device that is the neighbor.
VLAN
The VLAN ID that is used for communication with this proxy. A value of 4095 indicates
that there is no VLAN ID.
