radios to scan for potentially unauthorized APs across all bands.
This option utilizes radio bandwidth, but is an exhaustive means of scanning across all
available channels and listening for AP beacon traffic. Once probe responses are received, a
network device management application like Brocade RFMS or the Wireless Intrusion
Detection System (WIDS) can locate the device and remove it if defined as unauthorized.
Point radio to forward the probes required to obtain client RSSI information.
RSSI data (as obtained by at least three detecting radios) can be used by the Brocade RFMS
application to triangulate the location of a client on a site map representative of the actual
physical dimensions of the switch radio coverage area. Once located on a site map, intuitive
decisions can be made regarding the client's authorization within the switch-managed
network.
The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted by the Switch.
Radio type identifies whether the radio is an 802.11b, 802.11bg and 802.11bgn or
802.11a and 802.11an radio.
The Config Method displays whether the radio has been configured using static or dynamic
settings.

or Outdoors.
An Access Port can be set for Indoors or Outdoors use depending on the model and the
placement location. Power settings and channel selection options differ based on each
country's regulatory rules and whether or not the unit is placed indoors or outdoors.
Channel Width is the distance between two channels in the same frequency. This difference is
measured in MHz. For type 'an' channels, the channel width is either 20 MHz or 40 MHz. For
type 'bgn' channels, the width is 20 MHz. This field is read-only and is available only with type
'n' radios.
Desired Channel (sec) is the channel for communication between the Access Ports and Clients
using the secondary radio of an AP having multiple radios. The selection of a channel
determines the available power levels. The range of legally approved communication channels
varies depending on the installation location and country. The selected channel can be a
specific channel, Random, or ACS. Random assigns each radio a random channel. ACS
(Automatic Channel Selection) allows the switch to systematically assign channels. Default is
Random.Select a channel for communications between the Access Port and its associated
Clients within the Desired Channel field.
