Work order WC-2231

Caldera Robotics runs a single-floor engineering office, Aspen Hall, served by six WaveCore access points. A walk-test last week showed strong Wi-Fi spilling into the public parking lot, and the floor team has reported an unknown access point appearing and disappearing near the loading dock.

You are signed in to the WaveCore console as wlanadmin. Turn on the controller's self-healing and monitoring features so the cluster can spot rogue radios on its own, balance client load, and stop broadcasting beyond the building. Use the site-survey exhibit to decide which radios are leaking signal and dial them back.

A

Self-Healing

Let the controller raise or lower AP transmit power on its own to keep coverage steady when interference appears.
Background-scan optimization lets each radio re-pick its channel from what the scans observe.
B

Background Scanning

Feeds rogue-AP detection, AP location, and self-healing.
seconds, every radio
Set how often each radio steps off-channel to listen.
C

Client Distribution

dB difference between radios
A client is steered to a neighbour radio once the signal gap reaches this value.
percent
Caps how much of the cluster's client load may sit on 2.4 GHz so the band does not get crowded.
D

Aspen Hall — AP Transmit Power

Open the site-survey exhibit below, then reduce transmit power to −3 dB on the radios whose signal leaks past the exterior wall. Leave the others at full power.

Measured signal at the exterior monitoring point on the parking-lot side. A reading stronger (less negative) than −60 dBm means the radio is broadcasting well past the building and should be turned down. Amber radios above show measurable leakage; the table lists exact readings.
