Work Mode 
Set the AP operating mode: 
•  Normal—The AP only provides WLAN data services. 
•  Monitor—The AP only scans all 802.11 frames in the WLAN. 
•  Hybrid—The AP can both scan devices in the WLAN and provide WLAN 
data services. 
 IMPORTANT: 
•  When an AP has its operating mode changed from normal or hybrid to 
monitor, it does not restart. 
•  When an AP has its operating mode changed from monitor to normal or 
hybrid, it restarts. 
 
  NOTE: 
•  If an AP operates in hybrid mode, you must configure WLAN service so that the AP can both scan 
devices in the WLAN and provide WLAN data services. 
•  If an AP operates in monitor mode, the AP does not need to provide WLAN data services and you do
not need to configure WLAN service.
