Mixed-Cell Mode

Some access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which

not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these

wireless network operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP

mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode, send all

messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use

encryption, but allows clients that use WEP mode to join . When Mixed-Cell is enabled in a

profile, it allows you to connect to access points that are configured for "optional

encryption."

Radio Management

When this feature is enabled your wireless adapter provides radio management information

to the Cisco infrastructure. If the Cisco Radio Management utility is used on the

infrastructure, it configures radio parameters, detects interference and rogue access points.
