ProSAFE Wireless Controller Manage AirQual for a Profile Group AirQual, short for air quality, lets you display WiFi channel utilization levels and detect non-WiFi interference. One access point can monitor the AirQual for a profile group. Note: AirQual can be configured on a WAC740 access point only. However, the WAC740 access point can monitor the WiFi channel utilization and interference for a profile group, independent of the access point models that serve the profile group. AirQual Concepts AirQual provides the following services: • Option to display WiFi channel utilization levels. AirQual reports the utilization levels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. You can monitor these levels in real time, enabling you to see which channels are overutilized and how you can improve channel deployment. You can also configure alerts that are raised when channel utilization increases above a specific threshold or channel quality falls below a specific threshold. • Non-WiFi interference detection. This feature is also referred to as channel quality. The throughput of a WiFi network can be affected by the presence of non-WiFi interference sources such as microwave ovens and cordless phones. AirQual can detect non-WiFi interference and notify you through alerts. AirQual can detect up to 17 different non-WiFi interference devices, including Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, and analogue WiFi cameras. Configure AirQual for the Basic Profile Group You can configure AirQual for the basic profile group. One WAC740 access point can monitor the WiFi channel utilization and interference for the entire basic profile group. To configure AirQual for the basic profile group: 1.
