Configure Sensor Mode Scan Settings

These settings determine how your APs behave during the scanning process. You can specify how long a device scans each channel and which channels are to be scanned.
Note

Note

Dwell time defines how long the radio transmits on a specific channel frequency to scan client probe requests before moving to the next channel in the sequence. For presence data collection, setting the dwell time above the default value raises the throughput of data collected on each channel. Setting the minimum dwell time below the default value reduces latency but also reduces the throughput of data collected on each channel.

Use this task to configure scan settings for sensor mode.

  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Policy > Radio Profiles.
  2. Select an existing radio profile, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. If necessary, modify the Dwell Time.
  4. Deselect Scan All Channels and set individual channel numbers to collect client probe request data.
  5. Select SAVE RADIO PROFILE.
