Use this screen to assign APs either to the rogue AP list or the friendly AP list. A rogue AP is a
wireless access point operating in a network’s coverage area that is not under the control of the
network administrator, and which can potentially open up holes in a network’s security.
Radio 2 OP Mode This displays if the NWA/WAC has a second radio. Select the operating mode for radio
2.
AP Mode means the radio can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their
data traffic through to the NWA/WAC to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
MON Mode means the radio monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes
their information on to the NWA/WAC where it can be determined if those APs are
friendly or rogue. If a radio is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from
wireless clients.
Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with
other APs (in repeater mode) to form a WDS to extend its wireless network.
Repeater means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either
root AP or repeater mode) to form a WDS.
Radio 2 Profile This displays if the NWA/WAC has a second radio. Select the radio profile the radio uses.
Note: You can only apply a 5G AP radio profile to radio 2. Otherwise, the second radio will
not be working.
Radio 2 WDS Profile This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater mode.
Select the WDS profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Uplink Selection
Mode
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater mode.
Select AUTO to have the NWA/WAC automatically use the settings in the applied WDS
profile to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Select Manual to have the NWA/WAC connect to the root AP or repeater with tbe MAC
address specified in the Radio 2 Uplink MAC Address field.
Output Power Enter the output power (between 0 to 30 dBm) of the NWA/WAC in this field. If there is
a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA/WAC to reduce
interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the NWA/WAC’s effective broadcast
radius.
