2.7 Air Interface Interference Mitigation
Parameters Page
The Interference Mitigation functionality allows users to configure the unit’s
operating channel and noise floor level in order to meet particular requirements
regarding throughput and distance. The unit will scan and analyse the 900 MHz
spectrum, and, depending on the detected noise levels, it will suggest an optimal
operating channel and noise floor level.
The Interference Mitigation offers a quick and efficient mechanism for setting up
VL sectors or BNB links, when the operator doesn’t have the time or the expertise
required for a full spectrum analysis and channel optimization. For optimal
results however, a thorough radio planning is always recommended.
NOTE
This feature is available only for VL 900, 2.4 GHz BU/RB and BU/RB-B10 units only

CAUTION
Upon activating the Interference Mitigation, the unit will automatically reset. The unit will enter
passive scanning mode for a definite period of time, during which information will be gathered.
During the information-gathering period, the unit will not receive nor transmit data. Also, it will not be
able to synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed via the wireless link. At the end
of the period the unit will reset automatically regaining normal operability upon start up.
