Installation Guide 31
Select Best to enable the access point to scan non-overlapping channels and listen for beacons
from other access points. After the channels are scanned, it will select the channel with the fewest
access points. In the case of multiple access points on the same channel, it will select the channel
with the lowest average power level. When Constantly Monitor is selected, the access point will
continuously scan the network for excessive noise and sources of interference. Select Static to
assign the access point a permanent channel and scan for noise and interference only when
initialized.
• Configure as a Sensor Radio - Select this option to dedicate the radio to sensor support exclusively.
When functioning as a sensor, the radio scans in sensor mode across all channels within the 2.4 and
5.0GHz bands to identify potential threats within the access point managed network. If dedicating a
radio as a sensor resource, a primary and secondary ADSP server must be specified as an ADSP
management resource.
• Disable the Radio - Select this option to disable this radio, thus prohibiting it from either providing
WLAN or sensor support. Verify this course action with your network administrator before rendering
the radio offline.
18. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Wireless LAN Setting screen to define network
address and security settings for two WLAN configurations available to the access point as part of the
Initial AP Setup Wizard. Once the access point has an initial configuration defined, numerous additional
WLAN configurations can be set.
NOTE If configuring the access point as a sensor, the access point will require a
reboot before its sensor functionality is invoked. The reboot can take
place at the completion of the Initial AP Setup Wizard.
