Parameter Description
Scan Interval
This column indicates, in
seconds, how often the AP
will leave its current
channel to scan other
channels in the band if
scanning is enabled
Active Scan
Displays whether or not
the active scan feature is
enabled.
NOTE: This option elicits
more information from
nearby APs, but also
creates additional
management traffic on
the network. Active Scan
is disabled by default, and
should not be enabled
except under the direct
supervision of Dell
Support.
Scanning
Shows if scanning is
enabled or disabled for
this AP. If this option is
disabled, the following
other options will also be
disabled:
l Multi Band Scan
l Rogue AP Aware
l Voip Aware Scan
l Power Save Scan
Scan Time
The amount of time, in
milliseconds, an AP will
drift out of the current
channel to scan another
channel. The supported
range for this setting is 0-
2,147,483,647 seconds.
Best practices are to
configure a scan time
between 50-200 msec.
