#INSSIDER ANDROID HOW TO#

With a Wi-Spy DBx connected to your Android, raw radio frequency (RF) displays on the congestion details screen. For more information on how inSSIDer Technician displays RF density, view the knowledge base article on How To Use Density View.

Utilization : The percentage of time that the channel is busy (Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer required).

Overlapping : The number of radios partially overlapping with the selected radio.

Co-channel : The number of radios sharing the channel with the selected radio.Tapping the Signal Card will take you to a detailed view which displays the signal strength over time on a graph, the current signal strength, and the maximum and minimum signal strengths that have been recorded during the current session. The Signal graph turns red when the current signal strength falls below the configured threshold and turns green when above the threshold. Remember that signal strength is displayed in negative values, so -30 dBm is a higher signal strength than -70 dBm. The Signal card displays signal strength over time as well as the real-time signal strength in dBm. Tapping the Network Radio Card will take you back the to the Network Radio selection list. Band - The frequency band the selected radio is broadcasting on, either 2.4 or 5 GHz.

While it is possible to run scans without being connected to the customer’s network, being connected provides richer test results.
