S Detect Rogue APs:
Wireless NICs and APs associate based on the SSID configured for the
NIC. Given an SSID, the BSSID with the strongest signal is often cho-
sen for association. After association, 802.1x authentication may occur
and during authentication credentials to uniquely identify a user —
these are passed between the NIC and the AP.
The base 802.1x technology does not protect the network from “rogue
APs.” These can mimic a legitimate AP to authentication protocols and
user credentials. This provides illegal users ways to mimic legitimate us-
ers and steal network resources and compromise security.
Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being
rogue APs. Once a rouge AP is detected, your 700 Series Computer no
longer associates with that AP until you perform a warm boot.
Clear this box to solve AP connection problems that result when an AP
gets put on the rogue AP list due to inadvertent f ailed authentications
and not because it is a real rouge.
S Enable mixed cell:
Mixed cell is a profile-dependent setting. If enabled, you can connect to
mixed cell without using WEP, then you can query the cell to deter-
mine whether you can use encryption.
