9.4 MON Mode

Use this screen to assign APs either to the rogue AP list or the friendly AP list. A rogue AP is a
wireless access point operating in a network's coverage area that is not under the control of the
network administrator, and which can potentially open up holes in a network's security.

DESCRIPTION
Select the operating mode for radio 1.
AP Mode means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients and
pass their data traffic through to the device to be managed (or subsequently
passed on to an upstream gateway for managing).
MON Mode means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then
passes their information on to the device where it can be determined if those
APs are friendly or rogue. If an AP is set to this mode it cannot receive
connections from wireless clients.
Select the profile the radio uses. If no profile exists, you can create a new one
through the Create new Object menu.
This displays if the device has a second radio. Select the operating mode for
radio 2.
