Column Availability(%) Utilization(%) WiFi Util(%) Interference Util (%) Description noise floor, and the duty cycle for non Wi-Fi devices on that channel. The percentage of the channel currently available for use. The percentage of the channel being used. The percentage of the channel currently being used by Wi-Fi devices. The percentage of the channel currently being used by non Wi-Fi interference + Wi-Fi ACI (Adjacent Channel Interference) Channel Details When you move your mouse over a channel, the channel details or the summary of the 5 GHz and 2.4 Ghz channels as detected by a spectrum monitor are displayed. You can view the aggregate data for each channel seen by the spectrum monitor radio, including the maximum AP power, interference and the signal-to-noise-and-interference Ratio (SNIR). SNIR is the ratio of signal strength to the combined levels of interference and noise on that channel. Spectrum monitors display spectrum data seen on all channels in the selected band, and hybrid APs display data from the one channel they are monitoring. Figure 76 - Channel Details Table 17 shows the information that you can view in the channel details graph.
