Table 59 Groups > Radio > HP ProCurve 420 Fields and Default Values
Setting Default Description
Slot Time Auto Short-slot-time mechanism, if used on a pure 802.11g deployment, improves WLAN
throughput by reducing wait time for transmitter to assure clear channel
assessment.
Multicast Data Rate 5.5Mbps Sets the maximum data rate of the multicast data packets.
Rogue Scanning Enabled If enabled the 420 APs in the group will scan for rogues.
Rogue Scanning Interval
(15-10080 min)
720 If rogue scanning is enabled, this setting controls the frequency with which scans
are conducted (in minutes). Frequent scans provide the greatest security, but AP
performance and throughput available to user devices may be impacted modestly
during a rogue scan.
NOTE: This setting only applies to Periodic scans.
Rogue Scanning Duration
(50-1000 msec)
350 Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, the AP should spend performing the
rogue scan. If the duration is set too high users may start to experience connectivity
issues.
