Setting this radio as a detector dedicates the radio to detect rogue APs on the network.
Dedicated detectors do not connect to clients.
for rogue devices using the radio's current channel of operation.
Point 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.
Access Point radio to forward the probes required to obtain Client RSSI information.
MAC Address
The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted by the
Controller.
Radio Type Radio type identifies whether the radio is an 802.11bg and 802.11bgn or 802.11a
and 802.11an radio.
Config Method
The Config Method displays whether the radio has been configured using static or
dynamic settings.
For more information on configuring Radio Groups see
balancing" on page 202.
Refer to the Country parameter to assess the country the AP radio has been deployed in. The
radio must be configured to operate within the regulatory restrictions of the country it's
deployed in.
Indoors or Outdoors.
An Access Point 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.
within the Desired Channel field.
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 controller to systematically
assign channels. Default is Random.
Power (dBm) field.
The optimal power level for the specified channel is best determined by a site survey prior to
installation. Available settings are determined according to the selected channel. Set a higher
power level to ensure RF coverage in WLAN environments that have more electromagnetic
interference or greater distances between the Access Point and Clients. Decrease the power
