MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

The scanning mode that an AP uses is determined by the setting of Operating mode.
• Access point only: In these modes, scanning operates in the background. The radio periodically
switches away from the operating channel for a short period of time to listen for activity on
non-operating channels. The amount of time dedicated for scanning is defined by the settings
you make for Neighborhood scanning.
• Monitor: In this mode, the radio only performs scanning. Wireless services are not available.
• Local mesh only and Access point and Local mesh: Scanning is not supported in these modes.
Neighborhood scanning settings
IDS uses the same scanning settings as RRM. For details, see “Neighborhood scanning settings”
(page 186).
