Working with the Mitigator
Running Mitigator scans
● In the Poll interval box, type (in seconds) the interval that the Analysis Engine will poll 
the RF Data Collector to maintain connection status. The default is 30 seconds.

to poll the RF Data Collector to maintain connection status, before it stops sending 
requests. The default is 2 attempts.

Retry parameters, appears in the list.

9. Repeat steps 4 to 7.
10. To save your changes, click Apply.
10.3 Running Mitigator scans
The Mitigator feature allows you to view the following:
● Scan Groups
● Friendly APs
● Third Party APs
To run the Mitigator scan task mechanism:
1. From the main menu, click Mitigator. The Mitigator screen appears.
2. Click the Scan Groups tab.
>
For each remote RF Data Collection Engine defined here, you must:
● Enable it by selecting the Enable Mitigator Analysis Engine checkbox on 
the remote HiPath Wireless Controller
● Ensure that the controllers are routable by whatever means you use (for 
example, static routes, or OSPF).
>
A scan will not run on an inactive AP, even though it appears as part of the Scan 
Group. If it becomes active, it will be sent a scan request during the next periodic 
scan.
