Using the CLI to Optimize RFID Tracking on Access Points

Using the controller CLI, follow these steps to optimize RFID tracking.

Step 1 To configure an access point for monitor mode, enter this command: config ap mode monitor Cisco_AP

Step 2 When warned that the access point will be rebooted and asked if you want to continue, enter Y. Step 3 To save your changes, enter this command:

save config

Step 4 To disable the access point radio, enter this command: config 802.11b disable Cisco_AP

Step 5 To configure the access point to scan only the DCA channels supported by its country of operation, enter this command:

config ap monitor-mode tracking-opt Cisco_AP

Note To specify the exact channels to be scanned, enter this command and the command in Step 6.

Note To disable tracking optimization for this access point, enter this command: config ap monitor-modeno-optimizationCisco_AP.

Step 6 After you have entered the command in Step 5, you can enter this command to choose up to four specific

802.11b channels to be scanned by the access point:

config ap monitor-mode 802.11b fast-channel Cisco_AP channel1 channel2 channel3 channel4

Note In the United States, you can assign any value between 1 and 11 (inclusive) to the channel variable. Other countries support additional channels. You must assign at least one channel.

Step 7 To re-enable the access point radio, enter this command:
