The prevention and detection thresholds are different for different protocols. The above screen enables you to set the prevention and detection threshold values for these protocols.

Sensor View Settings

¾Protocol: Select a protocol from the drop‐down list.

¾The right pane of the screen displays the detection and prevention fields for the selected protocol.

™Detection Threshold: Specify the lowest signal strength below which the Sensor must not consider any signal for computing the detection range in the 802.11 (a, b/g, a/n, b/g/n) protocol. If you are doing a conservative Sensor placement, specify a higher cut‐off value.

™Prevention Threshold: Specify the values for Low Reliability, Med Reliability, and High Reliability. The Reliability slider takes from these values in the Prevention View for the respective protocol. For example, if you set the Reliability slider to Low, Planner uses the low reliability threshold value.
