To configure these settings, locate the proprietary settings areas on the Groups > Radio page and continue with
the additional steps in this procedure.
NOTE: Proprietary settings are only applied to devices in the group from the specific vendor and are not configured on devices from
vendors that do not support the functionality.

Default Description
If enabled, this setting allows client devices associating to an AP with two radio
cards to determine which card to associate with, based on the load (# of clients) on
each card.
No
NOTE: This feature is only available when two 802.11b wireless cards are used in
an AP-2000.
If enabled, this option will fragment packets greater than 500 bytes in size to reduce

the impact of radio frequency interference on wireless data throughput.
This setting adjusts the receiver sensitivity. Reducing receiver sensitivity from its
maximum may help reduce the amount of crosstalk between wireless stations to
Large
better support roaming users. Reducing the receiver sensitivity, user stations will
be more likely to connect with the nearest access point.
802.11b This setting sets the operational mode of all g radios in the group to either b only, g
+802.11g only or b + g.
802.11b This setting sets the operational mode of all a/b/g radios in the group to either a
+802.11g only, b only, g only or b + g.
Auto This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a
Fallback user device to associate.
Auto This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a

Auto This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a
Fallback user device to associate.
If enabled, any ORiNOCO or Avaya APs in the group (with the appropriate firmware)
will passively scan for rogue access points at the specified interval. This rogue
Yes
scan will not break users' association to the network.
NOTE: This feature can affect the data performance of the access point.
If Rogue Scanning is enabled, this setting controls the frequency with which scans
are conducted (in minutes). Frequent scans provide the greatest security, but AP
15 minutes
performance and throughput available to user devices may be impacted modestly
during a rogue scan.
