Configuring a Radio Profile 247

CAUTION: Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When a MAP radio is sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by network traffic, until the radio finishes sending the countermeasures.

8To disable active scanning for rogue devices, deselect Enable Active Scan.

When active scan is enabled, radios send probe any requests (probe requests with a null SSID name), to solicit probe responses from other access points. Radios also passively scan by listening for beacons and probe responses. When active scan is disabled, radios perform passive scanning only.

9To disable Wi-Fi Multimedia support, deselect Enable WMM.

WMM provides wireless Quality of Service for time-sensitive applications such as voice and video. WMM is a pre-standard version of IEEE 802.11e, provided by the Wi-Fi Alliance to enable vendors to provide interoperable multimedia support before ratification of the standard.

10Do one of the following:

„To configure 802.11 attributes, click Next and see “To change 802.11 attributes”.

„To configure other radio profile parameters, click a button at the top of the wizard.

„To close the wizard and save the changes, click Finish.

To change 802.11 To change 802.11 attributes, use the following procedure. attributes

1In the Create Radio Profile wizard, click 802.11 Attributes. The 802.11 Attributes page appears.

2In the Beacon Interval box, specify the interval at which the MAP advertises its SSIDs. You can specify from 25 to 8191 milliseconds (ms). The default is 100 ms.

3In the DTIM Period box, specify the number of beacons (1 to 31) the MAP transmits before transmitting the multicast and broadcast frames stored in its buffers. The default is 1.

4In the Fragment Threshold box, specify the maximum length

(256 to 2346 bytes) a frame can be without being fragmented by the MAP before transmission. The default is 2,346 bytes.

5In the Long Retry Limit box, specify the number of times (1 to 15) the MAP transmits an unacknowledged unicast frame that is longer than the RTS threshold before discarding the frame. The default is 5.
