Radio Measurement

You can enable or disable the radio measurement feature in the Cisco Connection Settings dialog box, which is available from the profile’s Connection tab in the Wireless Network properties dialog box (see Step 2 in the “Viewing and Changing the Settings of a Profile” section on page 2-13to get to the Cisco Connection Settings dialog box).

When you check the Enable Radio Measurement check box, the radio measurement feature is enabled. The client driver advertises support for the Cisco wireless LAN radio measurement feature by including a radio measurement information element when the client associates with the access point. The client can then service radio measurement requests that the network infrastructure sends.

When you uncheck the Enable Radio Measurement check box, the client does not advertise the radio measurement information element. The client cannot service radio measurement requests that the network infrastructure sends.
