14. Select an index value from 1-3 for awareness overrides. The overrides are executed based on

index as defined in the table, with the lowest index being executed first.

15. Set the following Scanning Configurations for both the 2.4 GHZ and 5.0 GHz radio bands:

16. Select OK to update the Smart RF Scanning Configuration settings. Select Reset to revert to

the last saved configuration.

17. Select Recovery.

The Neighbor Recovery tab displays by default. Use the Neighbor, Interference and Coverage Hole
recovery tabs to define how 2.4 and 5.0 GHz radios compensate for failed neighbor radios,
interference, coverage holes and loss of root path requiring neighbor radio intervention.

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) 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.

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 2.4 GHz and 5.0 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 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

Extended Scan Frequency

Use the spinner control to set an extended scan frequency from 0 - 50. This is the frequency radios
scan channels on non-peer radios. The default setting is 5 for both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

Sample Count

Use the spinner control to set a sample scan count value from 1 - 15. This is the number of radio RF
readings gathered before data is sent to the Smart RF master. The default setting is 5 for both 2.4
GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

Client Aware Scanning

Use the spinner control to set a client awareness count (1 - 255) during off channel scans for either
the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz radio. The default setting is 1 for both radio bands.

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 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

Voice Aware Scanning

Select either Dynamic, Strict or Disable 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 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
