l All-reg-domain Channels : A valid non-overlapping channel that is in the regulatory domain of at least one
country. The channels in this category belong in the frequency ranges of:
n 2412MHz to 2472MHz in the g-band
n 5100Mhz to 5895MHz in the a-band.
l Rare Channel : Channels that fall into a frequency range outside of the regulatory domain; 2484 MHz and
4900MHz-4995MHz (J-channels), and 5000-5100Mhz. The channels in this group do not belong to any
other group.
Each of these channel types can have an associated qualifier:
l Active Channel : This qualifier indicates that wireless activity is detected on this channel by the presence of
an AP or other 802.11 activity such as a probe request.
l DOS Channel : A channel where wireless containment is active. This channel should belong to the country-
code channel (regulatory domain).
Understanding TotalWatch Monitoring Features
TotalWatch enables monitoring of all channels including regulatory domain and rare channels. You can select
one of the following scanning modes for each radio AP:
l scan only the channels that belong to the AP’s regulatory domain
l scan channels that belong to all regulatory domains
l scan all channels
Understanding TotalWatch Scanning Spectrum Features
TotalWatch scans the following frequencies.
l G-band—2412MHz to 2472MHz
l J-band—2484 MHz and 4900-4995MHz
l A-band—5000-5100Mhz to 5895MHz
Table 110 list the frequency-to-channel mapping used by TotalWatch.
