29. Select the Enable Off Channel Scan radio button to permit scans on non designated channels for this radio. While this
affords the access point a greater likelihood of catching an unauthorized device, it does consume more bandwidth. The
default setting is disabled. Set the following Channel Scanning properties for the selected access point radio:
30. Set the following AP7161/AP7181 specific values:
Forwarding Port Use the Forward Port spinner to configure the port on which to forward captured packets
to the Ekahau Engine.
MAC to be forwarded Use the text area to provide a MAC address that identifies that the packet is received
from Ekahau tags.

only follow DTIM when using Power Save Aware mode. The default setting is Follow
DTIM.
Host for Redirected
Packets
If packets are re-directed from an access point radio, define an IP address of a resource
(additional host system) used to capture the re- directed packets. This address is the
numerical (non DNS) address of the host used to capture the re-directed packets.
Channel to Capture
Packets
Use the drop-down menu to specify the channel used to capture re-directed packets. The
