Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302

AutoCell Configuration Options

There are three AutoCell configuration setting
choices:
• Auto RF Management: Enabled by default.
• Enhanced RF Security: Disabled by default.
• Rogue Device Detection: Disabled by
default.
These options are discussed below.

Auto RF Management

Note: Channel selection and power management is automatically adjusted by the
AutoCell Auto RF Management option. The Auto RF Management option is
enabled by default.
In this mode, AutoCell APs and clients load-balance traffic across underutilized APs. This mode
avoids interference from neighbors, clients, APs, and other unexpected sources.
Enhanced RF Security
Note: Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) is automatically turned off when you
select the AutoCell Enhanced RF Security option.
In this mode, AutoCell shrinks the size of coverage to the minimum to reach clients but also
shrinks the size of the beacons that access points use to announce their presence. This mode makes
an enterprise wireless LAN nearly invisible to users outside an office building.
Rogue Device Detection
The AutoCell Rogue Device Detection feature lets you identify and block wireless devices that
should never be given access to the wireless network.
