Remote and Central Scan feature
To supports deployment of Remote BST. WBS-2400 have a tool that enables scanning for
presence of BST in all the channels by the Remote (Remote-scan) and in the operative channel
by the central BST (Central-scan). It gives the user the ability to select one of the BST as peer
BST for Self Backhaul link and automatically adopt its configuration for establishment of
Backhaul link.
Remote-Scan
Remote-Scan will use ACS mode and go over all channels. During Remote-Scan, only reception
of beacons will be enabled (to avoid STA association).
In each channel, the list of candidates BST will be prepared and the SNR of each candidate will
be measured (RSSI and noise level)
Remote-Scan will be activated only when the system is in operational mode
Remote-Scan will be activated only when the BST is configured as Remote
As in ACS in SBH, after the termination of the scan, the system will return to operational mode
with the previously used channel.
Note:
displayed in remote-scan. A list of all the BST found in the scan
regardless of their vendor or mode appears in the Beacon detection
results file in the Debug Interface.

possible. (unless there is a cable connection).
Scan in Central (Central-Scan)
Central-Scan will help user select Remote units per Central. A configuration update of the C-BST
should be done by adding the new remote MAC address in order to enable Self Backhaul link
with it. In order to ease this process and avoid MAC address typing error, the ability to adopt
the MAC address from a list of BST that the C-BST detects in its channel is added.
Scanning for BST in the operational channel will be done when the BST is in operational mode.
The Central-scan will be triggered by the user by pressing a button in Self Backhaul page.
Every beacon from new BST that will be received during the scan period will be added to the
list.
