Monitoring the Network with ARM When ARM is enabled, a W-IAP dynamically scans all 802.11 channels within its 802.11 regulatory domain at regular intervals and provides reports for network (WLAN) coverage, interference, and intrusion detection, to a Virtual Controller. ARM Metrics ARM computes coverage and interference metrics for each valid channel and chooses the best performing channel and transmit power settings for each W-IAP RF environment. Each W-IAP gathers other metrics on its ARM-assigned channel to provide a snapshot of the current RF health state.
