Selecting and Deploying APs and Sensors
Consider the following points when selecting your access points (APs) and sensors for deployment:
• Most AP models can have internal or external antennas. APs with internal antennas work best in an
indoor environment. AP/Sensors with external antennas work best for warehouse deployments,
mount-in-plenum spaces or deployments where specialized antennas may be required.
• AP and sensor SKUs can be ordered for dierent RF domains to comply with regulatory
requirements. Shipping locations may be limited by configured RF domain.

O-Channel Scanning (OCS)
RadioShare and o-channel scanning (OCS) work hand-in-hand to allow either or both radios to carry
client data and simultaneously act as a sensor, providing dual-band sensing. OCS essentially allows the
AP to tune its radio to a dierent channel for a finite amount of time for threat scanning.
