MON Profile

This screen allows you to set up monitor mode configurations that allow your NWA/WAC to scan for other wireless devices in the vicinity. Once detected, you can use the Wireless > MON Mode screen (MON Mode) to classify them as either rogue or friendly.

Not all NWA/WACs support monitor mode and rogue APs detection.

This screen allows you to create monitor mode configurations that can be used by the APs.
