Configuration
Figure 5-2: Advanced Wireless Settings screen AutoCell Setup options
There are two AutoCell configuration setting choices:
•
Enable/disable Auto RF Management: Enabled by default
•
Enable/disable Enhanced RF Security (‘Stealth Mode’): Disabled by default
Auto RF Management
In this mode, AutoCell APs and clients load-balance traffic across under utilized APs. This mode
avoids interference from neighbors clients and APs and other unexpected sources.
Enhanced RF Security ‘Stealth Mode’
In this mode, AutoCell shrinks the size of coverage to the minimum to reach clients but also
shrinks the size of the beacons that access points use to announce their presence. This mode makes
an enterprise wireless LAN nearly invisible to users outside an office building.
Note:
Channel selection and power management is automatically adjusted by AutoCell
when the Auto RF Management option is enabled.
Note:
Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) is automatically turned off when you
select the AutoCell Enhanced RF Security option.
