Use the Forward Port spinner to configure the port on which to forward captured packets
to the Ekahau Engine.
Use the text area to provide a MAC address that identifies that the packet is received
from Ekahau tags.
Non-Unicast Traffic values for the profile's supported access point radio and its connected wireless
Use the Select drop-down menu to launch a sub screen to define the data rate broadcast
and multicast frames are transmitted. Seven different rates are available if the not using
the same rate for each BSSID, each with a separate menu.
Define whether client broadcast and multicast packets should always follow DTIM, or
only follow DTIM when using Power Save Aware mode. The default setting is Follow
DTIM.
If packets are re-directed from an access point radio, define an IP address of a resource
(additional host system) used to capture the re- directed packets. This address is the
numerical (non DNS) address of the host used to capture the re-directed packets.
Use the drop-down menu to specify the channel used to capture re-directed packets. The

interval.
Use the spinner to set the off channel scan interval in number of dtim periods.
Use Sniffer Redirect text area to provide the IP address of a remote host where the
captured off channel scan packets are re-directed.
AP7161/AP7181 specific values:
Antenna Downtilt is used where there need to be a separation between the 2.4 GHz and
5.0 GHz bands. The 2.4 GHz band is tilted by 15 degrees (up/down tilt) using software.
Select to enable downtilt.
