Active scanning

In active scanning mode, the M111 sends out probe request frames in an attempt to solicit responses from APs that are within range. This enables the M111 to establish a connection with an AP that does not broadcast an SSID.

Some countries prohibit active scanning on some channels. In these countries, probe requests are not sent on prohibited channels.
