Dedicating a Radio as a Detector for Unapproved APs. You can dedi-
cate a particular radio to detecting APs in your environment. Such a radio
constantly scans for neighboring APs on all allowed channels, but it does not
support stations.
To enable this function, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio and click the Configuration tab.
2. Select the radio that you want to configure and click the Edit button.
3. Check the Dedicate this Radio as a Detector box.
Note If you enabled this function in the radio adoption default configurations as a
security feature, you can uncheck this box to enable an authorized radio to
support stations.
4. Click the OK button.
Take care. Any stations currently associated with this radio most move to
a different radio or lose their connections.
On the Network Setup > Radio > Configuration screen, in the State column, the
radio’s state should change to either Normal or Detector, as you have speci-
fied. (See Figure 3-10 on page 3-26.)
Configuring a Radio as a Single-Channel Detector for Unapproved
APs. A dedicated detector radio sends probes for unapproved APs on all
allowed channels in its frequency, but does not support wireless stations. To
allow an RP radio to detect some APs, while still supporting stations, enable
the radio to scan for rogue APs only on its own channel.
To configure a single-channel scan, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio > Configuration.
2. Select the radio that you want to configure and click the Edit button.
3. Check the Single-channel scan for Unapproved APs box.
4. Click the OK button.
