DESCRIPTION

Radio 1 OP Mode

Select the operating mode for radio 1.

 

AP Mode means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients

 

and pass their data traffic through to the NWA3000-N series AP to be

 

managed (or subsequently passed on to an upstream gateway for

 

managing).

 

MON Mode means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs,

 

then passes their information on to the NWA3000-N series AP where

 

it can be determined if those APs are friendly or rogue. If an AP is set

 

to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients.

Select the profile the radio uses. If no profile exists, you can create a

 

new one through the Create new Object menu.

9.4 MON Mode
