The AirMagnet Spectrum XT is a tool used to capture the real-time view and radio frequency (RF) bands for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
It is an analyzer software tool that proactively identifies and locates any RF interference impacting WiFi network performance. It is also a WiFi troubleshooting and optimization tool that allows you to view the real performance of the wireless APs and channels.
To view the performance in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, select Mixed mode. Select the
desired view and frequencies.
Note: Recording the display view captures all the views and
not just the views that are displayed.
The following screenshot displays the status of the RF.
The RF Summary pane displays the following information:
- Channel—All the channels available in the selected radio band.
- Current (dBm) —The average of current FFT readings.
- Avg(dBm)—The average historical FFT readings.
- Max(dBm)—The maximum FFT readings.
- Duty Cycle—The percentage of time the RF energy (both 802.11 and non‐802.11) is present on the channel.
The following screenshot displays the details of the channel summary.
