Running the Carrier Busy Test Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 1250 Series Autonomous Access Points Step 5 If you are using a power injector with a Cisco switch, choose one of these Power setting options (see Figure 3-3): a. If your Cisco switch supports Intelligent Power Management negotiations, uncheck Installed on Port with MAC address. b. If your Cisco switch does not support Intelligent Power Management, check Installed on Port with MAC address and ensure the MAC address for your switch port is displayed in the MAC address field. The HHHH.HHHH.HHHH indicates the MAC address contains 12 hexadecimal digits. Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive. Step 6 Step 7 Click Apply and a message displays indicating that you should disable pop-up blockers before proceeding. Click OK to continue. Your access point reboots and your power settings are configured in the access point. Note You might have to refresh your browser page to obtain the latest browser page that indicates your radios are enabled. Running the Carrier Busy Test You can use the carrier busy test to determine the least congested channel for a radio interface (2.4-GHz or 5-GHz radio module). You should typically run the test several times over several days to obtain the best results and to avoid temporary activity spikes. Note The carrier busy test is primarily used for single access points or bridge environments. For sites with multiple access points, a site survey is typically performed to determine the best operation location and operating frequency for the access points. Note All associated clients on the selected radio will be deassociated during the 6 to 8 seconds needed for the carrier busy test. Follow these steps to activate the carrier busy test: Step 1 Step 2 Use your web browser to access the access point browser interface. At the prompt, enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive. 3-16 Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide OL-8247-03
