There are some parameters with CAPL scan: NAPID, priority
and RefID.
NAPID is used to filter some BS if the NAPID is not matched.
Priority is the customer defined priority scan order. Higher
priority will be scanned first.
RefID is a result of mapping from IDs into a scan list from the
channel plan.
Extensible Authentication
