A city NOC sees a vague interference alarm on the cloud WLAN dashboard's AP spectrum view. When should engineers escalate to a dedicated spectrum analyzer?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cloud AP spectrum is a great smoke alarm; a dedicated analyzer is the fire investigator. Start with the dashboard, then haul out the serious tool when you need finer classification or a walk-around hunt.
Full Explanation
WLAN-integrated spectrum is valuable for rapid, distributed triage but may lack the sensitivity, form factor, or analysis depth of a dedicated analyzer for stubborn interferers. Expert workflow uses integrated views first and escalates when evidence or localization needs exceed those views. Neither tool class is universally exclusive, and deleting APs is not a prerequisite for deeper analysis.
