Scanning Available RF Spectrum

The MXW Wireless components operate in unlicensed spectrum that is shared with other wireless devices operating in the
same area, such as cordless phones, walkie-talkies and intercoms. The MXW control software features a scanning tool that
surveys the RF spectrum for these devices. It calculates the percentage of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the area and
provides recommended channel count ranges. Estimated channel counts are displayed for both standard and high channel
count modes.
During a scan, any microphones linked to that Access Point are turned off in order to survey the area for interference from oth­
er devices. The scan calculates the current spectrum and the minimum spectrum available, which provides the greatest level of
safety in determining channel count availability in a space. The Minimum Spectrum Available data will persist until a new scan
is performed or the data is cleared.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
The scanner analyzes the spectrum and divides the data into three categories:
Availability: High (Green)
Clean RF available for MXW system.
Availability: Moderate (Yellow)
Some moderate interference is detected, still usable by the MXW system.
Availability: None (Red)
Busy RF occupied by other devices.
