7. Review the Top 5 Active Radios to assess the significance of any Smart RF initiated
compensations versus their reported top performance.
8. Refer to the SMART RF Activity table to view the trending of Smart RF compensations.
9. Select Refresh to update the Summary to its latest RF Domain Smart RF information.
10. Select Details from the RF Domain menu.
Refer to the General field to review assess the radio's factory encoded hardware MAC address, the
radio index assigned by the administrator, the 802.11 radio type, its current operational state, the
radio's AP hostname assigned by an administrator, its current operating channel and power.
Radio MAC Lists the hardware encoded MAC address of each listed top performing RF Domain
member device radio.
RF Band Displays the top performing radio’s operation band. This may help administrate whether
more changes were required in the 2.4 GHz band then 5 GHz or vice versa.
AP Name Lists the administrator assigned access point name used to differentiate from other RF
Domain member access point radios.
Power Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated power level changes reported for this top
performing RF Domain member radio.
Channel Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated channel changes reported for this top
performing RF Domain member radio.
Coverage Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated coverage changes reported for this top
performing RF Domain member radio.
Time Period Lists the frequency Smart RF activity is trended for the RF Domain. Trending periods
include the Current Hour, Last 24 Hours or the Last Seven Days. Comparing Smart RF
adjustments versus the last seven days enables an administrator to assess whether
periods of interference and poor performance were relegated to just specific periods.
Power Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated power level changes needed for RF Domain
member devices during each of the three trending periods. Determine whether power
compensations were relegated to known device outages or if compensations were
consistent over the course of a day or week.
Channel Changes Lists the number of Smart RF initiated channel changes needed for RF Domain member
devices during each of the three trending periods. Determine if channel adjustments were
relegated to known device count increases or decreases over the course of a day or week.
Coverage Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated coverage changes needed for RF Domain
member devices during each of the three trending periods. Determine if coverage
changes were relegated to known device failures or known periods of interference over
the course of a day or week.
