25. Set or override the following profile Ekahau Properties for the selected access point radio.
26. Define a Reduced Interframe Spacing (RIFS) mode using the drop-down menu. This value determines whether interframe
spacing is applied to transmissions or received packets, or both or none. The default mode is Transmit and Receive.
Consider setting this value to None for high priority traffic to reduce packet delay.
27. Set or override the following Non-Unicast Traffic values for the profile’s supported access point radio and its connected
wireless clients:
28. Refer to the Sniffer Redirect (Packet Capture) field to define or override the radio’s captured packet configuration.
29. Select the Enable Off-Channel Scan radio button to scan across other channels in the radio band. This setting is disabled
by default.
30. Select the Off-Channel Scan list for 5GHz field and enter the channels on which off channel scan has to be performed
for the 5.0 GHz radio. Similarly select the channels for the Off Channel Scan list for 2.4 GHz radio.
31. Use the Max Multicast spinner to set the maximum number of multicast channels on which to do off channel scan.
32. Use the Scan Interval spinner to set the time duration in DTIM period between 2 off channel scans.
33. Use the Sniffer Redirect field to provide the IP address of the device to which the captured off-channel scan packets are
redirected to.
34. Select OK to save or override the changes to the Advanced Settings screen. Select Reset to revert to the last saved

Device Overrides
A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) card is a specialized network interface card that allows a network device to connect,
transmit and receive data over a Cellular Wide Area Network. Certain AP7131N model access points have a PCI Express card
slot that supports 3G WWAN cards. The WWAN card uses Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to connect to the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) and gain access to the Internet. PPP is the protocol used for establishing internet links over dial-up modems, DSL
connections, and many other types of point-to-point communications. PPP packages your system’s TCP/IP packets and forwards
them to the serial device where they can be put on the network. PPP is a full-duplex protocol used on various physical media,
Forwarding host Provide the IP address of the host to which Ekahau packets are forwarded to.
Forwarding Port Use the spinner to provide the Ekahau forwarding port number.
MAC to be
forwarded
Enter the MAC address that is incorporated in the Ekahau packets that are forwarded.
Non-Unicast Transmit
Rate
Use the Select drop-down menu to launch a sub screen to define the data rate broadcast
and multicast frames are transmitted. Seven different rates are available if the not using
the same rate for each BSSID, each with a separate menu.
Non-Unicast Forwarding Define whether client broadcast and multicast packets should always follow DTIM, or
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 a 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
default value is channel 1.
