4. Refer to the following to determine whether a Smart RF calibration or an interactive calibration

is required:

Hostname

Displays the assigned Hostname for each member of the RF Domain.

AP MAC Address

Displays the hardware encoded MAC address assigned to each Access Point radio within the
selected RF Domain. This value cannot be modified as past of a calibration activity.

Radio MAC Address

Displays the hardware encoded MAC address assigned to each Access Point radio within the
selected RF Domain. This value cannot be modified as past of a calibration activity.

Radio Index

Displays a numerical index assigned to each listed Access Point radio when it was added to
the managed network. This index helps distinguish this radio from others within this RF
Domain with similar configurations. This value is not subject to change as a result of a
calibration activity, but each listed radio index can be used in Smart RF calibration.

Old Channel

Lists the channel originally assigned to each listed Access Point MAC address within this RF
Domain. This value may have been changed as part an Interactive Calibration process applied
to this RF Domain. Compare this Old Channel against the Channel value to right of it (in the
table) to determine whether a new channel assignment was warranted to compensate for a
coverage hole.

Channel

Lists the current channel assignment for each listed Access Point, as potentially updated by an
Interactive Calibration. Use this data to determine whether a channel assignment was
modified as part of an Interactive Calibration. If a revision was made to the channel
assignment, a coverage hole was detected on the channel as a result of a potentially failed or
under performing Access Point radio within this RF Domain.

Old Power

Lists the transmit power assigned to each listed Access Point MAC address within this RF
Domain. The power level may have been increased or decreased as part an Interactive
Calibration process applied to this RF Domain. Compare this Old Power level against the Power
value to right of it (in the table) to determine whether a new power level was warranted to
compensate for a coverage hole.
