rf spectrum-profile

Use the age-out parameter to define the number of seconds for which a specific device type must stop sending a signal before the spectrum monitor considers that device no longer active on the network.

Some audio devices such as wireless speakers and microphones also use fixed frequency to continuously transmit audio. These devices are classified as Fixed Frequency (Audio).

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 10 seconds

Bluetooth devices. Note that this setting is applicable to 2.4GHz spectrum monitor radios only.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 25 seconds

Some cordless phones use a fixed frequency to transmit data (much like the fixed frequency video devices). These devices are classified as Fixed Frequency (Cordless Phones).

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 10 seconds

Frequency hopping cordless phone base units transmit periodic beacon-like frames at all times. When the handsets are not transmitting (i.e., no active phone calls), the cordless base is classified as Frequency Hopp

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 240 seconds

er (Cordless Base).

When there is an active phone call and one or more handsets are part of the phone conversation, the device is classified as Frequency Hopper (Cordless Network). Cordless phones may operate in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands. Some phones use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (for example, 5 GHz for Base-to-handset and 2.4 GHz for Handset-to-base). These phones may be classified as unique Frequency Hopper devices on both bands.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 60 seconds

All fixed frequency devices that do not fall into one of the other categories are classified as Fixed Frequency (Other). Note that the RF signatures of the fixed frequency audio, video and cordless phone devices are very similar and that some of these devices may be occasionally classified as Fixed Frequency (Other).

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 10 seconds

When the classifier detects a frequency hopper that does not fall into one of the above categories, it is classified as Frequency Hopper (Other). Some examples include IEEE 802.11 FHSS devices, game consoles and cordless/hands-free devices that do not use one of the known cordless phone protocols.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 25 seconds

Any non-frequency hopping device that does not fall into one of the other categories described in this table is classified as a Generic Interferer. For example a Microwave-like device that does not operate in the known operating frequencies used by the Microwave ovens may be classified as a Generic Interferer. Similarly wide-band interfering devices may be classified as Generic Interferers.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 30 seconds

LTE-U Fixed Frequency devices

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 10 seconds

Common residential microwave ovens with a single magnetron are classified as a Microwave. These types of microwave ovens may be used in cafeterias, break rooms, dormitories and similar environments. Some industrial, healthcare or manufacturing environments may also have other equipment that behave like a microwave and may also be classified as a Microwave device. Note that this setting is applicable to 2.4GHz spectrum monitor radios only.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 15 seconds

Some newer-model microwave ovens have the inverter technology to control the power output and these microwave ovens may have a duty cycle close to 100%. These microwave ovens are classified as Microwave (Inverter). Dual-magnetron industrial microwave ovens with higher duty cycle may also be classified as Microwave (Inverter). As in the Microwave category described above, there may be other equipment that behave like inverter microwaves in some industrial, healthcare or manufacturing environments. Those devices may also be classified as Microwave (Inverter).

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 15 seconds

Video transmitters that continuously transmit video on a single frequency are classified as Fixed Frequency (Video). These devices typically have close to a 100% duty cycle. These types of devices may be used for video surveillance, TV or other video distribution, and similar applications.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 60 seconds

Wi-Fi devices.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 600 seconds

The Microsoft Xbox device uses a frequency hopping protocol in the 2.4 GHz band. These devices are classified as Frequency Hopper (Xbox). Note that this setting is applicable to 2.4GHz spectrum monitor radios only.

Range: 5-65535 seconds

Default: 25 seconds

Scan this channel for spectrum FFT.

Make a copy of an existing spectrum profile.

Default: 600 seconds

Specify the number of msec FFTs that will be enabled in hybrid mode (802.11ac APs only). Range: 5 - 900 msec. .

Range: 5-900 milliseconds

Default: 20 millisecond

Specify one of the following power format of frequency bins for FFTs on QCA APs with V2 FFT format:

• 0: linear magnitude
• 1: log magnitude

Specify the IP address where the AP sends the captured FFT samples.

Specify the channel for which the data is to be passed to the classifier.

Remove a spectrum profile or negate a configured parameter.
