Description
Determines the signal mode or
priority for selecting signal modes
available in the WLAN. Options are:
• 802.11 b/g: Use only 2.4 GHz
band
• 802.11a: Use only 5 GHz band
• Auto, 802.11b/g preferred over
802.11a (dual-band)
• Auto, 802.11a preferred over
802.11b/g (dual-band)
The preferred band, if
Note
available, is used at
power-on, but the
phone may switch to
the less-preferred 2.4
GHz band, if available,
and the preferred band
is lost. After the phone
has connected to the
less-preferred band, it
does not scan for the
preferred band if the
current band is
acceptable, and may
remain connected to
the less-preferred band.
• Auto, signal strength (RSSI):
Use strongest signal in
dual-band environment
Note
Scan Mode is set in the
Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
Administration, and cannot
be set from the phone. The
phone displays the current
setting.
Auto: Always scans when on a call.
If idle and signal strength is
sufficient, the phone does not scan.
Continuous: Always scans.
Single AP: Only scans at power-on
or if the AP connection to the
network is lost.
