The Spectrum Analysis tab enables you to define the spectrum analysis test
parameters, activate a spectrum analysis test and view the spectrum analysis
results.
Upon activating the spectrum analysis the unit will automatically reset. The unit
will enter passive scanning mode for a definite period, during which information
will be gathered. The scanned channels will be all the frequencies included in the
selected sub-band.During the information-gathering period the unit will not
receive nor transmit data. It also will not be able to synchronize/associate,
meaning that it cannot be managed via the wireless link. During the spectrum
analysis period the AU/BU security mode is changed to promiscuous to enable
gathering information regarding all legal frames received by the unit. At the end of
the period the unit will reset automatically regaining normal operability upon
start up.
