S Detect Rogue APs:

Wireless NICs and APs associate based on the SSID configured for the
NIC. Given an SSID, the BSSID with the strongest signal is often cho-
sen for association. After association, 802.1x authentication may occur
and during authentication credentials to uniquely identify a user —
these are passed between the NIC and the AP.

The base 802.1x technology does not protect the network from “rogue
APs.” These can mimic a legitimate AP to authentication protocols and
user credentials. This provides illegal users ways to mimic legitimate us-
ers and steal network resources and compromise security.

Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being
rogue APs. Once a rouge AP is detected, your 700 Series Computer no
longer associates with that AP until you perform a warm boot.

Clear this box to solve AP connection problems that result when an AP
gets put on the rogue AP list due to inadvertant failed authentications
and not because it is a real rouge.

S Enable mixed cell:

Mixed cell is a profile-dependent setting. If enabled, you can connect to
mixed cell without using WEP, then you can query the cell to deter-
mine whether you can use encryption.

S Enable Logging:

Check this box to log what activity incurs for this profile.
