Extreme Networks Summit WM3000 Series Reference Manual page 183

Setting this radio as a detector dedicates the radio to detect rogue APs on the network. Dedicated
detectors do not connect to clients.
NOTE
If the radio adoption default settings for both 802.11a and 802.11bg radios are set to detector, both radios will
be configured as a detector. If the first radio of the AP is set to detector manually, the second radio will fail to
be set as a detector.
7 Select the Single-channel scan for Unapproved APs checkbox to enable the controller to scan for rogue
devices using the radio's current channel of operation.
8 The following read only information is displayed:
MAC Address
Radio Type
Config Method
9 To add the radio to a Radio Group enter the Group ID for the target radio group in the Group ID
field. 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 in which its
deployed.
NOTE
When an access point radio is adopted by the controller, the controller's AP adoption settings overwrite the
country settings on the AP (if different on the AP). When adopted by the controller, the AP's settings are read by
the controller and compared against its own settings. The controller's country setting defined within the
Controller > Configuration screen has precedent over the AP's own country setting once adopted. However,
individual APs can have their country setting adjusted (if necessary) using the controller's Network > Access
Point > Configuration screen.
10 From within the Radio Settings field, define the Placement of the Access Point as either 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.
11 Select a channel for communications between the Access Point and its associated MUs 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.
12 After first selecting a channel, select a power level in dBm for RF signal strength in the Desired 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 MUs. Decrease the power level according to the
Summit WM3000 Series Controller System Reference Guide
The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted
by the Controller.
Radio type identifies whether the radio is an 802.11an radio or a 802.11
bgn radio.
The Config Method displays whether the radio has been configured using
static or dynamic settings.
