Level 1 Containment, Level 2 Containment, Level 3 Containment, Level 4 Containment: This
feature allows the administrator to target a rogue access point for containment. An AP which is
being contained will either not be able to provide service at all, or will provide exceedingly slow
service. There is a level associated with the containment activity which indicates how many
OmniAccess AP Access Points to use in containing the threat. Note that this service must be
initiated and halted by the administrator.

Monitor RF Calibration Models

Use Monitor/Maps, then select RF Calibration Models and click GO to access this page.
This page allows you to view the current calibrated and uncalibrated RF Calibration Models.
The Calibration Models are used as RF overlays with measured RF signal characteristics that can be
applied to different floor areas. This allows the Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System installation team to
lay out one floor in a multi-floor area, use the RF Calibration tool to measure and save the RF charac-
teristics of that floor as a new calibration model, and apply that calibration model to all the other floors
with the same physical layout.
The resulting RF Calibration Models make client and rogue AP location much more precise when using
the Alcatel OmniAccess Control System Location Software.
