Wireless Array
114 Viewing Status on the Wireless Array
RF Monitor Windows
Every Wireless Array includes an integrated RF spectrum analyzer as a standard
feature. The spectrum analyzer allows you to characterize the RF environment by
monitoring throughput, signal, noise, errors, and interference levels continually
per channel. This capability uses the assigned threat-sensor (monitor) radio. The
associated software is part of the ArrayOS.
The following RF Status windows are available:
IAPs — displays current statistics and RF measurements for each of the
Array’s IAPs.
Spectrum Analyzer — displays current statistics and RF measurements
for each of the Array’s channels.
Intrusion Detection — displays rogue APs that have been detected by the
Array.
Channel History — charts ongoing statistics and RF measurements for
one selected channel over time.
Radio Assurance — displays counts of types of problems that caused each
IAP to reset.
Some status information is only available if the Array’s license includes
Advanced Feature Sets. For example, the Spectrum Analyzer requires the
Xirrus Advanced RF Analysis Manager (RAM). If a feature is
unavailable, then your license does not support the feature and you will get
an error message if you try to set the feature. See “About Licensing and
Upgrades” on page 361.
