ControlScape can help you diagnose transmission problems with a graphical
representation of radio channel noise. You can use this diagnostic information
during a site survey to check for RF signals already present in an area, or to
detect network issues caused by RF interference.
To detect the radio channel noise level for a particular radio, open the U TILITIES
menu, and then choose IFHE S PECTRUM A NALYZER . Select the radio by IP
ADDRESS , and then click O PEN . ControlScape will then scan within the radio, and
measure the noise in the its frequency band. This data can help determine if
there is a signal that is interfering with radio communications. The radio will
continue to periodically scan its frequency band until you click the C
LOSE button,
or you select a different radio to scan.
Note: The information in this dialog box is valid only for radios accessible
through a wired Ethernet network. Scans for radios reachable only over the RF
network may not be accurate.
Note: Radio network communications are interrupted while the Spectrum
Analyzer is active. Normal communication will resume when you close the dialog
box.
