Rouge Scanning is done via two modes:
a. Current Channel Scan: In this mode, the AP device scans all the wireless devices and Rouge APs in the
current operating channel, performing its normal AP functionality simultaneously. AP listens to all the data
packets transmitted over the current operating channel, interprets the beacons and probe responses from the
neighboring devices and maintains its BSS throughput performance. It allows to scan a maximum of 32
wireless devices in its vicinity. Once it exceeds the limit of 32 entries, it overwrites the oldest entry.
b. All Channel Scan: In this mode, the AP device continuously scans all the available channels (both active and
passive depending on channel flags). It allows to scan a maximum of 512 wireless devices in its vicinity.
By default, Rouge Scan Status is disabled. To enable and choose the preferred scan mode, select either Current
Channel Scan or All channel Scan from the drop down menu.
:
• When Auto Channel Selection is enabled, Rouge Scan Status cannot be set to All Channel Scan.
• In All Channel Scan mode, the device does not support all the AP functionality.
•
Rouge Scan Period: This parameter is enabled when Rouge Scan Status is set to All channel Scan. This
parameter specifies the time period for which, the device scans each available channel to detect every wireless
device in its vicinity. By default, the value taken is 250ms. To configure, enter the time period value between 100-
1000ms.
3. Click OK, to save the configured parameters.
: If you have changed any of the Wireless Properties parameters with an asterisk symbol marked against it, then reboot
the device.
