User's Guide

• On the AP3xx and AP5xx, the sensor can be set per radio — one radio can be configured as a sensor,
and the other one can be configured to pass wireless trac. The AP310 and AP510 are dual-band
APs. A white LED indicates sensor selection.
• On AP39xx, both radios must be configured as sensors at the same time.
After the radio mode is set to Sensor on the configuration Profile, define the scan list under Advanced
Profile settings.

Advanced AP Radio Settings
The purpose of advanced radio settings for an AP is to improve data packet throughput. Frame
aggregation is a feature of the IEEE 802.11e, 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax wireless LAN standards that
increases throughput by sending multiple data frames in a single transmission. Frame transmission by
an 802.11 device includes significant overhead. In fact, the overhead can consume more bandwidth than
the payload itself. To address the overhead issue, the 802.11n standard oers MAC Service Data Unit
(MSDU) aggregation and MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation. Both types of aggregation
result in a single frame. Management information is specified only once per frame; therefore, the ratio of
payload data to the total volume of data is higher, resulting in greater throughput.
Note
You can configure radio settings for all APs in a device group from the device group Radio tab
and Advanced Radio dialog. And you can override radio settings for one or more individual
APs from the AP Advance Settings > Override dialog.
