5. Refer to the Basic Settings field to enable a Smart RF policy and define its sensitivity and
detector status.
6. Refer to the Calibration Assignment field to define whether Smart RF Calibration and radio
grouping is conducted by the floor the access point is deployed on or building in its entirety.
Both options are disabled by default.
7. Select OK to update the access point’s Smart RF Basic configuration. Select Reset to revert to
the last saved configuration. The Smart RF policy can be invoked at any point in the
configuration process by selecting Activate SMART RF Policy from the upper, left-hand side,
portion of the access point user interface.
8. Select Channel and Power. Ensure the Activate SMART RF Policy remains selected so the
screen’s parameters can be updated.
Use the Channel and Power screen to refine Smart RF power settings over both the 5.0 GHz
and 2.4 GHz radio bands and select channel settings in respect to the access point’s channel
usage.
NOTE
The Power Settings and Channel Settings parameters are only enabled when Custom is selected as
the Sensitivity setting from the Basic Configuration screen.
Sensitivity Select the radio button corresponding to the desired Smart RF sensitivity. Options include Low,
Medium, High and Custom. The default setting is Medium.
SMART RF Policy Enable Select this radio button to enable Smart RF for immediate inclusion within a RF Domain. Smart RF
is enabled by default.
Interference Recovery Select this radio button to enable compensations from neighboring radios when radio interference
is detected. When interference is detected, Smart RF first determines the power increase needed
based on the signal to noise ratio for a client (as seen by the access point radio). If a client’s signal
to noise value is above the threshold, the transmit power is increased until the signal to noise rate
falls below the threshold. This setting is enabled by default.
Coverage Hole Recovery Select this radio button to enable coverage compensation from neighboring radios when a radio
coverage hole is detected within the Smart RF supported radio coverage area. When coverage hole
is detected, Smart RF first determines the power increase needed based on the signal to noise ratio
for a client as seen by the access point radio. If a client’s signal to noise value is above the
threshold, the transmit power is increased until the signal to noise rate falls below the threshold.
Neighbor Recovery Select this radio button to enable automatic recovery by instructing neighboring APs to increase
their transmit power to compensate for the coverage loss.
