Select Shutdown Settings
Select Shutdown is intended for high-density deployment designs focused on 5GHz coverage. It
identifies and hides redundant 2.4GHz radios, thus reducing the overall CCI (Co-Channel Interference ).
Hidden radios are still on and will send Neighbor Reports. Select Shutdown is disabled by default.
From Select Shutdown configure parameters that will maintain CCI levels within specified limits.
Configure the following parameters:

Field Description
Enable Select to enable auto-shutdown of radios causing interference within the
Smart RF monitored network.
Auto-shutdown of select 2.4 GHz radios, in dual-band networks, maintains
CCI levels within specified limits. When enabled, Smart-RF monitors CCI
levels to ensure that the deployment average CCI remains within specified
minimum and maximum limits. If the deployment average CCI is found to
exceed the maximum threshold, 2.4 GHz radios, causing neighbor
interference, are shut down one-by-one until the deployment average CCI
falls below the specified maximum threshold. The reverse process occurs
when the deployment average CCI falls below the minimum threshold. In this
scenario, previously disabled radios are enabled until the deployment
average CCI reaches acceptable levels.
CCI High Threshold Determines the maximum CCI threshold from -85 to -55 dBm. The default
value is -80 dBm. This value indicates the upper limit for the deployment
average CCI range.
CCI Low Threshold Determines the minimum CCI threshold from -85 to -55 dBm. The default
value is -100 dBm. This value indicates the lower limit for the deployment
average CCI range.
Frequency Determines the Shutdown interval in minutes. When the deployment
average CCI exceeds the specified maximum threshold, Smart RF shuts
down 2.4 GHz radios until the CCI reaches acceptable levels. Use this option,
to configure the interval between successive radio shutdowns. Valid values
are 0 - 3600 minutes. The default is 60.
Frequency Limiter Indicates the value by which to multiply the OCS scan period to determine
the minimum Frequency setting.

Configuring a Floor Plan
Use the floor plan tool to visualize a wireless deployment, plan device placement for APs and switches,
and troubleshoot network performance issues. The floor plan illustrates the location of the devices and
how the devices aect network performance. You can visualize device performance based on signal
strength and channel assignment, and verify network readiness within a floor plan.
