Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point information. The DWS-4000 Series switch does not communicate with the AE. AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11b/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 802.11n mode cannot detect AeroScout tags. Note: The following notes apply to AeroScout product and protocol support: •) D-Link does not sell AeroScout products. Contact AeroScout for AeroScout hardware, software or deployment information. •) The AE protocol does not support any authentication or encryption between the AE server and the access point. •) The AE protocol requires radios to operate in promiscuous mode. This means that the AP receives and processes all packets detected by the radios, as opposed to processing only packets destined to the APs BSSID. This can affect AP throughput.

To specify radio settings, click the Radio tab in the Manage section. Different settings will be displayed depending on the mode you select. All settings are described in the table below. Figure 20 - Modify Radio Settings The following table describes the fields and configuration options for the Radio Settings page. Field Radio Status (On/Off) October 2017 Description Select Radio 1or Radio 2 to specify which radio to configure. The rest of the settings on this page apply to the radio you select in this field. Be sure to configure settings for both radios. Radio 1 operates in the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n), and Radio 2 operates in the 2.4 GHz band (802.11b/g/n).

information. The DWS-4000 Series switch does not communicate with the AE.

AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11b/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 802.11n mode cannot detect AeroScout tags.

Note:

The following notes apply to AeroScout product and protocol support:

•)

D-Link does not sell AeroScout products. Contact AeroScout for AeroScout hardware,

software or deployment information.

•)

The AE protocol does not support any authentication or encryption between the AE server

and the access point.

•)

The AE protocol requires radios to operate in promiscuous mode. This means that the AP

receives and processes all packets detected by the radios, as opposed to processing only

packets destined to the APs BSSID. This can affect AP throughput.

Modifying Radio Settings

Radio settings directly control the behaviour of the radio devices in the AP and its interaction with the physical

medium; that is, how and what type of electromagnetic waves the AP emits.

To specify radio settings, click the

Radio

tab in the

Manage

section.

Different settings will be displayed depending on the mode you select. All settings are described in the table below.

Figure 20 -

Modify Radio Settings

The following table describes the ﬁelds and conﬁguration options for the

Radio Settings

page.

Field

Description

Radio

Select Radio 1or Radio 2 to specify which radio to conﬁgure. The rest of the settings on this

page apply to the radio you select in this ﬁeld. Be sure to conﬁgure settings for both radios.

Radio 1 operates in the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n), and Radio 2 operates in the 2.4 GHz band

(802.11b/g/n).

Status (On/Off)

Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking

Off

If you turn off a radio, the AP sends disassociation frames to all the wireless clients it is

currently supporting so that the radio can be gracefully shutdown and the clients can start

the association process with other available APs.
