How to initiate scan:
Pressing scan button in the ACS page will initiate the scan process. During the process, the
system will reboot to Scan Mode, perform the scan and afterwards, reboot back to
Operational Mode to the best channel.
During scan mode the system will not be operation, i.e client will not be able to associate,
although beacons will continue to be transmitted.
By disabling “Automatic set to recommended channel and reboot” option, the system will not
set the recommended channel and will not return to Operational Mode. This enables multiple
scanning with the ability to change scanning parameters such as scan, sensitivity, and
channel list.
Pay attention that if the “Automatic set to recommended channel and reboot” check box will
not be set, the system will remain not operational until the user will manually return to
operational mode. During the time the system is not in operation mode, a warning text
written in red in the top of the page will indicate this.
How to return to Operational Mode:
If “Automatic set to recommended channel and reboot” check box is set (default
configuration), the system will automatically return to operational mode with the selected
channel after the scanning.
During any time in which the system is not in operational mode, selecting channel from
“Operational channel” list-box and pressing reboot will return the system to operational
mode with the selected channel.
The following fields appear in the Automatic Channel Selection page:
