◗ Auto-Mode Radio Priority (Dual Wi-Fi Radio Only)

This option allows you to establish a priority for which radio on the dual band

wireless module will operate as a Network Connect in the Auto mode. The

available choices are:

• 802.11a Only

• 802.11a Priority, 802.11g Backup

• 802.11g Priority, 802.11a Backup

• 802.11g Only

◗ Self-Tuning

This feature allows you to enable or disable Background Scanning and

configure the Self-Tuning Policy. When a Network Connect module first

connects to the network, it performs an initial scan of all available Wi-Fi

channels and generates a list of potential alternate Client Connects that are

reachable. Following the initial scan, the Network Connect continually scans

in the background to maintain the list and enable the system to make the

following intelligent decisions:

• When to drop the current path and select a better path, then connect to

the appropriate node (self-tuning).

• When to select the best path (or detect the loss of a path) and select the

next best path, then connect to the appropriate node (self-healing).

• Which APs are rogue devices.

To fully optimize your network’s ability to self-tune, self-heal and detect

rogue devices, we recommend that the Background Scanning feature is

always enabled (default).



Disabling Background Scanning will prevent Network Connects

from reporting rogue AP devices.
