Scanning the RF frequency

You can run a frequency scan to check the current frequency situation in your surrounding area.

The frequency scan provides an overview of the frequency situation in your location. You can save the antenna configuration as a .csv info file. This file can be used as a backup file to recapitulate your settings or as local frequency information for your specific environment. You can scan the frequencies of all antennas connected to the Base Station.
The scan can be initiated:
  • via the RF configuration tab to see a small extract without any details or
  • via the Frequency Scan tab for a detailed overview of the frequency situation.

The scan results will be displayed in two different curves:

  • Peak (red) = Maximum value

  • RMS (blue) = Average power or strength

Please note that the antenna must not be assigned to an RF channel before scanning (see Assigning an antenna to an RF channel).
To scan the RF frequency via the RF configuration tab:
  1. In the top bar, navigate to Configuration > RF Configuration.
    Under the RF Scan drop-down menu, there are four toggle switches that enable and disable the scan function for each connected antenna.

  2. Click on the toggle switch of the antenna to be scanned in order to start an immediate scan.
    The square is highlighted with a blue dot and the scan result is displayed in a small frequency curve after approx. 5 seconds.

  3. In order to view the results,
    • click on the small frequency icon or
    • navigate to Frequency Scan in the top bar.
To scan the RF frequency via the Frequency Scan tab:
