Viewing RF Signal Strength

Radio Frequency (RF) signal strength can be viewed using a heat map for a specific location.

The heat map helps us identify the RF signal strength in a specific location. It provides heat maps using actual path loss information from the environment. You can view an indoor floor plan map for an AP.

To view the RF signal strength:

  1. Go to System > Maps.
  2. From the System tree hierarchy, select the location of the map that you want to view.
  3. Select the Show Signal Coverage check box and choose the required RF frequency. For example, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The heat map is displayed with a color-gradient legend. High signal strength appears in red. The color changes as the signal strength reduces.
