Chapter 13: Statistics
When invoked by an administrator, Self-Monitoring At Run Time (Smart RF) instructs access point radios
to change to a specific channel and begin beaconing using the maximum available transmit power.
Within a well-planned deployment, any RFM Domain member access point radio should be reachable
by at least one other radio. Smart RF records signals received from its neighbors as well as signals from
external, un-managed radios. AP-to-AP distance is recorded in terms of signal attenuation. The
information from external radios is used during channel assignment to minimize interference.
To view Smart RF stats for RF Domain member access points:
1 Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2 Select the default item from under the System node on the top, left-hand side, of the screen.
