5.12 Foreign AP Detection
This feature retrieves scan information from RLX2s that have responded to the IH
Browser and appear in the main list view. This scan data can be used to detect the
presence of rogue foreign Access Points that are operating on the same channel as the
RLX2 units and can become a source of serious interference.
The IH Browser maintains a
whitelist
which allows the IH Browser to differentiate
between detected APs that are meant to be present on that channel and APs that have
come on-line in the facility either by error, or with malicious intent. A
foreign AP
is
therefore defined as any AP that is not in the whitelist.
The
Foreign AP Detection
window can be opened by clicking on

information from the RLX2 units.
