  3. Search for a radio.

     In Radio Performance Distribution, select specific radios based on the noise level, channel usage, and interference ratio (select an area in the bar graph).

  NOTE:

  • Move the cursor to Channel Usage to view details about channel usage, including the transmitting time ratio, receiving time ratio, interference ratio, and idle rate of the channel.
  • Click the rightward arrow on the left of the list to view the following information of the radio: number of recently accessed STAs, noise level, channel usage, rate, retransmission ratio, and packet loss ratio.

• Implement spectrum analysis.

  Select a radio from Radio List and click Spectrum Analysis. The spectrum charts of the radio are displayed. For details, see Spectrum Analysis.

• Intelligently diagnose radio faults.

  Select a radio in Radio List and click Intelligent Diagnosis to diagnose Mesh link faults, AP failures, and AP upgrade failures. The web platform will provide handling suggestions. For details, see Intelligent Diagnosis.

• Capture wireless packets.

  Select a radio in Radio List and click Wireless Packet Obtaining to capture wireless packets so that you can identify faults. For details, see Wireless Packet Capturing.

• View field strength information.

  Select a radio in Radio List and click Field Strength Collection to view field strength information.
