Converting AP to Spectrum Monitor

There are two ways to change a radio on an individual AP orAMAir Monitor. AM is a mode of operation supported on wireless APs. When an AP operates in the Air Monitor mode, it enhances the wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more. However, clients cannot connect to APs operating in the AM mode.into a spectrum monitor. You can assign that AP to a different 802.11A and 802.11G radio profile that is already set to spectrum mode, or you can temporarily change the AP into a spectrum monitor using a local spectrum override profile. When you use a local spectrum override profile to override the mode setting of an AP, that AP begins to operate as a spectrum monitor, but remains associated with its previous 802.11A and 802.11G radio profiles. If you change any parameter (other than the overriddenmodeparameter) in the 802.11A or 802.11G radio profiles of the spectrum monitor, the spectrum monitor immediately updates with the change. When you remove the local spectrum override, the spectrum monitor reverts back to its previous mode, and remains assigned to the same 802.11A and 802.11G radio profiles as before.

The spectrum local override profile overrides themodeparameter in the 802.11A or 802.11G radio profile, changing it from ap-mode or am-mode to spectrum-mode, while allowing the spectrum monitor to continue to inherit all other settings from its 802.11A or 802.11G radio profiles. When the spectrum local override is removed, the AP automatically reverts to its previous mode as defined it its 802.11A or 802.11G radio profile settings. If you use the local override profile to change an AP radio to a spectrum monitor, you must do so by accessing the WebUI orCLICommand-Line Interface.

The following procedure converts an individual AP using the spectrum local override profile:

1.In theMobility Masternode hierarchy, navigate toConfiguration>System.

2.SelectProfilestab.

3.SelectSpectrum Local Override.

4.In theSpectrum Local Override Profile, click+.

5.In theap_name, enter the name of an AP whose radio you want to configure as a spectrum monitor. The AP names are case-sensitive. Any extra spaces before or after the AP name prevents the AP from being correctly added to the override list.

6.If your AP has multiple radios or a single dual-bandBand refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.radio, click thespectrum_banddrop-down list and select the spectrumbandBand refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.you want that radio to monitor:2.4 GHzor5 GHz.

7.ClickOKto add that radio to theOverride Entrylist.

8.Repeat steps 4 through 7 to convert other AP radios to spectrum monitors, if required.

9.To remove spectrum monitor from the override entry list, select that radio name in the override entry list, then click删除.

10.ClickSubmit.

11.ClickPending Changes.

12.In thePending Changeswindow, select the required check box and clickDeploy changes.
