cycle for non Wi-Fi devices on that channel.

Availability(%) The percentage of the channel currently available for use.

Utilization(%) The percentage of the channel being used.

WiFi Util(%) The percentage of the channel currently being used by Wi-Fi devices.

Spectrum Alerts

When new non Wi-Fi device is found, an alert is reported to the Virtual Controller. The spectrum alert messages

include the device ID, device type, IP address of the spectrum monitor or hybrid AP, and the timestamp. Virtual

Controller reports the detailed device information to AMP.

Configuring Spectrum Monitors and Hybrid OAW-IAP to Hybrid OAW-

IAPs

AnOAW-IAP can be provisioned to function as a spectrum monitor or as a hybrid OAW-IAP. The radios on groups of

APs can be converted to dedicated spectrum monitors or hybrid APs via the AP group’s 802.11a and 802.11g radio

profiles.

Converting anOAW-IAP to Hybrid OAW-IAP

You can convert all OAW-IAPs in an Instant network into a hybrid OAW-IAPs by selecting the

Background spectrum monitoring option in the Alcatel-LucentAOS-W Instant network’s 802.11a and 802.11g

radio profiles. APs in Access mode continue to provide normal access service to clients, while providing the

additional function of monitoring RF interference. If any OAW-IAP in the AOS-W Instant network does not support

the spectrum monitoring feature, that AP continues to function as a standard OAW-IAP, rather than a hybrid OAW-

IAP. By default, the background spectrum monitoring option is disabled. In the hybrid mode, spectrum monitoring is

performed only on the home channel.

You can convert OAW-IAPs in an Alcatel-LucentAOS-W Instant network to hybrid mode using Instant UI or CLI.

In the Instant UI

To convert anOAW-IAP to a hybrid OAW-IAP:

1. Click the RF link at the top right corner of the Instant UI.

2. Click Show advanced options to view the Radio tab.

3. To enable a spectrum monitor on the 802.11g radio band, in the 2.4 GHz radio profile, select Enabled from the

Background Spectrum Monitoring drop-down list.

4. To enable a spectrum monitor on the 802.11a radio band, in the 5 GHz radio profile, select Enabled from the

Background Spectrum Monitoring drop-down list.

5. Click OK.
