The Properties field displays the Model family for the selected Access Port. The Model is read
only and cannot be modified. The Radio Type displays the radio type (802.11a or 802.11bg).
This value is read only and cannot be modified
5. To use this radio as a detector to identify rogue APs on your network, check the box titled
Dedicate this AP as Detector AP. Setting this radio as a detector will dedicate this radio to
detecting rogue APs on the network. Dedicated detectors do not connect to by clients.
6. Select the Single-channel scan for Unapproved APs checkbox to enable the switch to detect
rogue devices using its only its current channel of operation.
7. Select the Enable Enhanced Beacon Table checkbox to allow the AP to receive beacons and
association information.
8. Select the Enable Enhanced Probe Table checkbox to allow an AP to forward MU probe
requests to the switch.
9. Within the Radio Settings field, configure the Placement of the radio as either Indoors or
Outdoors. The setting will affect the selection channel and power levels. Default is Indoor.
10. Select a channel for communications between the Access Port and MUs in 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.
11. 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 Port and MUs. Decrease the power level
according to the proximity of other Access Ports. Overlapping RF coverage may cause lost
packets and difficulty for roaming devices trying to engage a Access Port. After setting a power
level, channel and placement the RF output power for the Access Port is displayed in mW.
Default is 20 dBm (802.11bg), 17 dBm (802.11a
).
NOTE
After setting a power level, channel and placement the RF output power for the Access Port is
displayed below in mW.
12. To configure optional rate settings, click the Rate Settings button to display a new dialogue
