AirDefense Proﬁle Settings

The AP integrates with the Extreme AirDefense (AirDefense), oering an additional proﬁle option that

allows the AP to function as an AirDefense sensor or to act as a sensor and retain the ability to forward

trac.

When the AP is conﬁgured with an AirDefense dedicated sensor proﬁle, the functionality of the AP is

controlled by the AirDefense server. When the AP is conﬁgured as a AirDefense Radio Share proﬁle, it

continues to forward trac while sending packets to an AirDefense server. To ensure rate performance,

an AP conﬁgured with a Radio Share proﬁle does not forward its own Tx/Rx data to the ADSP server.

The AP3xx, AP4xx, and AP5xx support Radio Share and OCS. You have the option to scan neighboring

channels in addition to the operating channel. AP4xx also oers a separate sensor radio.
