Table 72: Non-Wi-Fi Interferer Types Non Wi-Fi Interferer Description Frequency Hopper (Xbox) The Microsoft Xbox device uses a frequency hopping protocol in the 2.4 GHz band. These devices are classified as Frequency Hopper (Xbox). Frequency Hopper (Other) When the classifier detects a frequency hopper that does not fall into any of the prior categories, it is classified as Frequency Hopper (Other). Some examples include IEEE 802.11 FHSS devices, game consoles, and cordless/hands-free devices that do not use one of the known cordless phone protocols. Microwave Common residential microwave ovens with a single magnetron are classified as a Microwave. These types of microwave ovens may be used in cafeterias, break rooms, dormitories, and similar environments. Some industrial, healthcare, or manufacturing environments may also have other equipment that functions like a microwave and may also be classified as a Microwave device. Microwave (Inverter) Some newer-model microwave ovens have the inverter technology to control the power output and these microwave ovens may have a duty cycle close to 100%. These microwave ovens are classified as Microwave (Inverter). Dual-magnetron industrial microwave ovens with higher duty cycle may also be classified as Microwave (Inverter). There may be other equipment that functions like inverter microwaves in some industrial, healthcare, or manufacturing environments. Those devices may also be classified as Microwave (Inverter). Generic Interferer Any non-frequency hopping device that does not fall into any of the prior categories described in this table is classified as a Generic Interferer. For example, a Microwave-like device that does not operate in the known operating frequencies used by the Microwave ovens may be classified as a Generic Interferer. Similarly wide-band interfering devices may be classified as Generic Interferers. Channel Details When you move the mouse over a channel, the channel details or the summary of the 2.4 GHz and 5 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 W-IAP power, interference, and the signal-tonoise-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 of all channels in the selected band, and hybrid W-IAPs display data for the channel they are monitoring. 344 | Spectrum Monitor Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
