11. Set the following OCS Monitoring Awareness Settings for the Smart RF policy:
Set the following Scanning Configurations for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands:
Threshold Select this option and specify a threshold from 10 - 10,000. When the threshold is reached
awareness settings are overridden with the values specified in the table.
Index Select an Index value from 1 - 3 for awareness overrides. The overrides are executed based on
index, with the lowest index being executed first.
Day Use the drop-down menu to select a day of the week to apply the override. Selecting All will apply
the policy every day. Selecting weekends will apply the policy on Saturdays and Sundays only.
Selecting weekdays will apply the policy on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Selecting individual days of the week will apply the policy only on the selected day.
Start Time This value sets the starting time of day(s) that the overrides will be activated. Use the spinner
controls to select the hour and minute, in 12h time format. Then use the radio button to choose AM
or PM.
End Time This value sets the ending time of day(s) that the overrides will be disabled. Use the spinner
controls to select the hour and minute, in 12h time format. Then use the radio button to choose AM
or PM.
Mesh Point Enable or disable mesh point scanning with the check box and use the field to specify the name of
a mesh point that determines the scan process for the radio. If no mesh points are mapped to the
radio this setting will have no impact on the radio. If one or more mesh points are mapped to the
radio and this field is left blank a root mesh point with the lowest BSSID that is mapped to the radio
will determine scan process. If no root mesh point is mapped, the mesh point with the lowest BSSID
mapped to the radio will determine the scan process. If one or more mesh points are mapped to
the radio and the field is populated a name of a mesh point that is not mapped to that radio, the
behavior will be similar to leaving the field blank. If one or more mesh points are mapped to the
radio and the field is populated with the name of a mesh point mapped to the radio, the specified
mesh point will determine scan process.
Duration Set a channel scan duration (from 20 - 150 milliseconds) Access Point radios use to monitor
devices within the network and, if necessary, perform self healing and neighbor recovery to
compensate for coverage area losses within a RF Domain. The default setting is 50 milliseconds for
both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
Frequency Set the scan frequency using the drop-down menu. Set a scan frequency in either Seconds (1 -
120) or Minutes (0 - 2). The default setting is 6 seconds for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.
Extended Scan Frequency Use the spinner control to set an extended scan frequency between 0 - 50. This is the frequency
radios scan channels on other than their peer radios. The default setting is 5 for both the 5 and 2.4
GHz bands.
Sample Count Use the spinner control to set a sample scan count value between 1 - 15. This is the number of RF
readings radios gather before they send the data to the Smart RF master. The default setting is 5
for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands
Client Aware Scanning Set a client awareness count (number of clients from 1 - 255) for off channel scans of either the 5
GHz or 2.4 GHz band.
Power Save Aware
Scanning Select either the Dynamic, Strict or Disable radio button to define how power save scanning is set
for Smart RF. Strict disables smart monitoring as long as a power save capable client is associated
to a radio. Dynamic disables smart monitoring as long as there is data buffered for a power save
client at the radio. The default setting is Dynamic for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.
Voice Aware Select either the Dynamic, Strict or Disable radio button to define how voice aware recognition is
set for Smart RF. Strict disables smart monitoring as long as a voice client is associated to a radio.
Dynamic disables smart monitoring as long as there is data buffered for a voice client at the radio.
The default setting is Dynamic for both the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands.
