7. Select the Dedicate this AP as Detector AP
APs on the network.
Setting this radio as a detector dedicates the radio to detect rogue APs on the network. Dedicated
detectors do not connect to clients.
8. Select the Single-channel scan for Unapproved APs
devices using the radio's current channel of operation.
9. Select the Enable Enhanced Beacon Table
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 Motorola RFMS or the Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) can locate the device
and remove it if defined as unauthorized.
10.Select the Enable Enhanced Probe Table
radio to forward the probes required to obtain MU RSSI information.
RSSI data (as obtained by at least three detecting radios) can be used by the Motorola RFMS application
to triangulate the location of a MU 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
MU's authorization within the switch managed network.
11.The following read only information is displayed:
MAC Address The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted by the
Switch.
Radio Type Radio type identifies whether the radio is an 802.11a radio or an 802.11 bg radio.
Config Method The Config Method displays whether the radio has been configured using static or
dynamic settings.
12.To add the radio to a Radio Group enter the
information on configuring Radio Groups see
4-106.
13.From within the Radio Settings field, define the
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.
14.Select a channel for communications between the Access Port 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 switch to systematically assign channels. Default is Random.
15.After first selecting a channel, select a power level in dBm for RF signal strength in the
(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
