Spectrogram Navigation
During Playback you can select what portion of the reco rding to analyze. After making a
selection, the recording will move to that exact spot and update all the visible charts.
Use this feature as follows:
1. Check the Capture Spectrogram Navigation data check box on the tab
Configure>Record Options.
2. During Playback, click the Spectrogram Navigation icon (
toolbar. The Spectrum Navigation window appears.
) on the
1
Introduction
3. The left-hand portion of the Spectrogram Navigation window provides an
overview of the cu rrent recordi n g . It allows you to select a portion of the
recording to review in more detail, which when selected, appears on the righthand side of the window.
4. Use the slider at the top left to increase or decrease the amount of time (in
minutes) for which data is displayed in the Overview window on the left. If
the recording is shorter than 30 minutes, the slider is not available.
5. Click an item on the Non-WiFi Interferers portion on the bottom left to display
a purple line in the left side overview to indicate the selected interferer which
will also display a white horizontal line (shown in the example above).
Alternatively, you can select an area of interest in the right-side window with
the white line and start playback from there.
6. When done, click Playback from Selected Time to playback the time you
have selected.
Note: You can change the Frequency B a nd (from the drop-down on the top) to display a
different set of Spectrogram data, if available.
The list of interferers is dependent upon on the current overview area and the current
frequency band selection. When the spectrogram overview is changed, the list of interferers
is updated to reflect the current overview area.
Adding Notes to Captur ed Data
During the recording and playback of a session, you can add annotation (Notes) at specific points.
Do this as follows:
1. During a recording session, click the Add Note button (
menu bar.
2. When you select this button, a text box, as shown below, appears .

Main Features
AirMagnet Spectrum XT has the following main features:
Ability to scan all available 802.11 radio bands
AirMagnet Spectrum XT has the capability to capture live spectrum and Wi-Fi
data in the wireless network and display them in real time on the screen,
assuming you have an AirM agnet-supported wireless network adapter
installed and enabled at the same time. To make it easier for you to focus on
a certain part of the 802.11 radio spectrum, AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers six
band options: 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.0 GHz Lower, 5.0 GHz Middle, 5.0 GHz
Upper, and Mixed which includes all options other than 4.9 GHz. You can
choose any of these band options from the Band menu in the toolbar.
Real Time FFT
The Real Time FFT graph displays in real time the current, average, and
maximum FFT readings. The X-axis represents channel/frequency and the Yaxis shows power readings in dBm.
Spectrum Density
The Spectrum Density graph shows the "popularity" of a particular
frequency/power reading over time. The X-axis shows the frequency/channel
for the selected 802.11 radio band; the Y-axis show s the power readings in
dBm. You can also display the signal strength of selected APs across the
Spectrum Density graph by selecting APs of interest from the AP List by

Event Spectrogram
The Event Spectrogram provides a visual presentation of real-time
information about events (device detecti ons) that the application has made in
the network. Each detecti on is an event which is re p resented by a color band.
The color of the band indicates the signal strength of the device being
detected (refer to the signal scale on top of the graph). If more detections are
made of the same device as the application sweeps the s pectrum, the band
will become thicker (taller). The height of the color band indicates the (length
of time in seconds the device has been detected. It stops increasing when the
device becomes inactive (meaning that the device has not been detected for a
minute). The width of the line/band indicates the channels or frequencies
being affected by the device. If the device is a frequency-hopping device,
then the line/band may extend sideways as the device hops from one channel
to another. Click here

Due to the ever changing nature of wireless device technology, there are ever
more devices that transmit in the 2.4 and 5GHz regulatory frequency bands.
In order to allow customers to identify more potential non-Wi-Fi interferers,
users have the ability to identify, classify, and analyze interferers beyond
those devices included in the software package.
Region-Specific Scanning Control
Users in regions with specific wireless range restrictions have the ability to
specify precisely which channels shall be scanned in AirMagnet Spectrum XT
by simply selecting the desired region from a drop-down provided in the
application’s configuration window . This streamlines the process of narrowing
17
down the channels needed based on the area in which the network is located
to a simple one-click process.
Virtual AP Grouping
AirMagnet Spectrum XT’s Virtual AP Grouping feature allows you to set up
specific names for single devices that utilize multiple SSIDs under different
BSSIDs. These groups help you identify instances where separate BSSIDs
show up and appear to be several different devices, when they actually
belong to a single device.
BlueSweep Integration
BlueSweep software is designed to identify nearby devices with Bluetooth
wireless technology and alert users to potential Bluetooth security risks. It
identifies and tracks devices up to 300 feet away and lets users know what
their own Bluetooth devices are doing.
Remote Spectrum Analysis
AirMagnet Spectrum XT enables you to connect to remote systems to perform
remote troubleshooting capabilities.
Introduction
The Remote XT Connection option enables you to view remote, real-time data
in their local Spectrum UI. It does this by connec ting to a remote computer
running an AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer card.
Product Overview
AirMagnet Spectrum XT is a Wi-Fi troubleshooting and optimization tool from NetAlly,
designed to provide W-Fi network professionals with a clear and concise view into their
wireless network environment. AirMagnet Spectrum XT’s power reaches far beyond its sleek
and intuitive design, because it includes the option to complement spectrum analysis with
Wi-Fi packets and traffic analysis, using an optional se cond Wi-Fi card. This allows you to
directly connect spectrum information to the real performance of your wireless APs and
channels. The software brings everything together in a single, clean interface that ensures
that you can easily see the information that you need without digging thr ough pages of
data.

Troubleshooting AirMagnet Spectrum XT
This section explains some typical troubleshooting scenarios related to the use of AirMagnet
Spectrum XT.
I have both a spectrum adapter and a wireless network
adapter enabled, but why do no Wi-Fi devices show up on
the screen?
AirMagnet Spectrum XT has the capability to capture and display both Wi-Fi and spectrum
data simultaneously from a network environment. As a result, you should be able to see
both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices the application has captured. The following steps will help
you solve this issue:
1. Make sure that your wireless network adapter is suppor ted by AirMagnet.
Refer to Supported Wireless Network Adapters
2. Turn off Network Threat Protection on Symantec Endpoint Protection if you
have the application installed on the PC. Refer to the illustration below.
