MCS Data Rates
Access Point Radio Configuration
Forwarding Host Use the Forward Host text area to provide the IP address of the Ekahau Engine.
Forwarding Port Use the Forward Port spinner to configure the port on which to forward captured packets to the

Host for Redirected
Packets If packets are re-directed from an access point radio, define an IP address of a resource (additional

when exceeded, off channel scan is skipped during the current scanning interval.
Scan Interval Use the spinner to set the off channel scan interval in number of dtim periods.
Sniffer Redirect Use Sniffer Redirect text area to provide the IP address of a remote host where the captured off
channel scan packets are re-directed.
