Channel Details

When you move your mouse over a channel, the channel details or the summary of the 5 GHz and
2.4 Ghz channels as detected by a spectrum monitor are displayed. You can view the aggregate
data for each channel seen by the spectrum monitor radio, including the maximum AP power,
interference and the signal-to-noise-and-interference Ratio (SNIR). SNIR is the ratio of signal
strength to the combined levels of interference and noise on that channel. Spectrum monitors
display spectrum data seen on all channels in the selected band, and hybrid APs display data from
the one channel they are monitoring.
Figure 76 - Channel Details
Table 17 shows the information that you can view in the channel details graph.
