Channel
Select
the
Channel
.
The
range
of
available
channels
is
determined
by
the
mode
of
the
radio
interface
and
the
country
code
setting.
If
you
select
Auto
for
the
channel
setting,
the
AP
scans
available
channels
and
selects
a
channel
where
no
traffic
is
detected.
The
Channel
defines
the
portion
of
the
radio
spectrum
the
radio
uses
for
transmitting
and
receiving.
Each
mode
offers
a
number
of
channels,
depending
on
how
the
spectrum
is
licensed
by
national
and
transnational
authorities
such
as
the
Federal
Communications
Commission
(FCC)
or
the
International
Telecommunication
Union
(ITU
‐
R).
When
automatic
channel
assignment
is
enabled
on
the
Channel
Management
page
for
Clustering,
the
channel
policy
for
the
radio
is
automatically
set
to
static
mode,
and
the
Auto
option
is
not
available
for
the
Channel
field.
This
allows
the
automatic
channel
feature
to
set
the
channels
for
the
radios
in
the
cluster.
Station
Isolation
To
enable
Station
Isolation,
select
the
check
box
directly
beside
it.
When
Station
Isolation
is
disabled,
wireless
clients
can
communicate
with
one
another
normally
by
sending
traffic
through
the
AP.
When
Station
Isolation
is
enabled,
the
AP
blocks
communication
between
wireless
clients
on
the
same
radio
and
VAP.
The
AP
still
allows
data
traffic
between
its
wireless
clients
and
wired
devices
on
the
network,
across
a
WDS
link,
and
with
other
wireless
clients
associated
with
a
different
VAP,
but
not
among
wireless
clients
associated
with
the
same
VAP.
Note:
On
dual
‐
radio
APs,
Station
Isolation
does
not
block
communication
between
Radio
1
and
Radio
2,
even
if
the
VAP
configuration
on
each
radio
is
the
same.
AeroScout™
Engine
Protocol
Support
AeroScout
Engine
support
provides
location
‐
based
services
for
wireless
networks.
Specify
whether
to
enable
support
for
the
AeroScout
protocol.
Options
are
Enabled
or
Disabled
.
The
default
is
Disabled
.
When
enabled,
Aeroscout
devices
are
recognized
and
data
is
sent
to
an
Aeroscout
Engine
(AE)
for
analysis.
The
AE
determines
the
geographical
location
of
802.11
‐
capable
devices,
such
as
STAs,
APs,
and
AeroScout’s
line
of
802.11
‐
enabled
RFID
devices,
or
tags
.
The
AE
communicates
with
APs
that
support
the
AE
protocol
in
order
to
collect
information
about
the
RF
devices
detected
by
the
APs.
Using
the
AE
protocol,
D
‐
Link
supports
direct
communication
between
AE
and
the
APs.
When
operating
in
managed
mode,
the
AE
is
configured
with
the
IP
address
of
the
managed
access
points
from
which
it
collects
information.
The
Wireless
Switch
cannot
communicate
with
the
AE.
For
more
information
about
the
AeroScout
protocol,
see
“Enabling
AeroScout™
Engine
Support”
on
page
57
.
Note:
Only
AeroScout
tag
hardware
of
types
T2
and
T3
are
explicitly
supported.
Other
tag
models
are
also
supported
only
if
their
implementation
of
the
AeroScout
protocol
conforms
to
the
AeroScout
Engine
‐
Access
Point
Interface
Specification
,
version
2.1.
Note:
AeroScout
tags
operate
only
in
802.11
b/g
mode.
Therefore,
network
administrators
who
use
the
AeroScout
tags
must
configure
at
least
one
radio
on
APs
that
are
expected
to
detect
tags
in
either
802.11b/g
or
802.11b/g/n
mode.
The
radios
configured
in
2.4
GHz
IEEE
802.11
mode
or
any
of
the
5GHZ
modes
cannot
detect
AeroScout
tags.
Note:
The
AE
protocol
allows
access
points
to
mark
detected
APs
as
rogue
devices.
The
D
‐
Link
APs
do
not
support
this
feature
and
never
report
detected
APs
as
rogues.
