4. Select the
Access
Mode from the drop-down list.
Access Mode— In Access mode the AP serves client, while also monitoring for rogue APs in the
background.
Monitor Mode— In Monitor mode the AP acts as a dedicated monitor scanning all channels for rogue APs
and clients.
Spectrum Monitor— In the Spectrum Monitor mode the AP functions as a dedicated full-spectrum RF
monitor, scanning all channels to detect interference, whether from neighboring APs or from non- WiFi
devices such as microwaves and cordless phones.
By default the access point’s channel and power are optimized dynamically using Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM). You can override ARM on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and set the channel and power
manually if desired.
