Web: Configuring AP Detection
To configure access point detection, use the Settings window on the AP
Detection tab.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Disable: There are no AP detection scans, either dedicated, periodic, or
instant. (This is the default setting.)
■ Dedicated: The access point continuously scans all channels to find
details of neighbor access points. In this mode, no clients can asscociate
with the access point.
■ Periodic: The access point performs periodic scanning for other access
points based on the following configured parameters:
• Scan Interval: Sets the time between each AP detection scan.
(Range: 15 -10080 minutes; Default: 720 minutes)
• Scan Duration: Sets the length of time for each AP detection scan.
A long scan duration time will detect more access points in the area,
but causes more disruption to client access. (Range: 50 -1000 millisec-
onds; Default: 350 milliseconds)
• Time Until First Scan: The time delay from enabling AP detection
or a reboot before scanning starts. (Range: 0 -10080 minutes; Default:
0 minutes)
• Time Since Last Scan: The elapsed time since the previous AP
detection scan.
■ Instant Scan: Click the [Start] button to perform an immediate AP scan
on the radio interface. Note that Instant Scan does not work when AP
Detection is disabled.
No t e While the access point scans a channel for neighbor APs, wireless clients will
not be able to connect to the access point. Therefore, frequent scanning or
scans of a long duration will degrade the access point’s performance. If more
extensive scanning is required, use the dedicated scanning mode.
To Configure Periodic AP Detection:
1. Select the AP Detection tab.
2. Click the [
Settings] button.
3. Select Periodic and specify the required scan interval and duration.
