AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
6-54
The rogue detection interval is used in conjunction with Symbol MUs that identify themselves as
rogue detection capable to the AP-5131. The detection interval defines how often the AP-5131
requests these MUs to scan for a rogue AP. A shorter interval can effect the performance of the MU,
but it will also decrease the time it takes for the AP-5131 to scan for a rogue AP. A longer interval will
have less of an impact to the MU’s, but it will increase the amount of time used to detect rogue APs.
Therefore, the interval should be set according to the perceived risk of rogue devices and the
criticality of MU performance.
To configure Rogue AP detection for the AP-5131:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection from the AP-5131
menu tree.
2. Configure the Detection Method field to set the detection method (MU or AP-5131) and
define the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio to conduct the rogue AP search.
CAUTION Using an antenna other than the Dual-Band Antenna (Part No.
ML-2452-APA2-01) could render the AP-5131’s Rogue AP Detector
Mode feature inoperable. Contact your Symbol sales associate for
specific information.
