A. Interference can come from a number of sources, which include 2.4 GHz cordless phones,
improperly shielded microwave ovens, and wireless equipment manufactured by other
companies. Police radar, electrical motors, and moving metal parts of machinery can also
cause interference.For more information on radio frequency (RF) interference, refer to

Q. What are the different modes supported on wireless bridges?
A. The wireless bridges can operate in one of these modes:
installPlaces the AP/bridge in a bridge link setup mode for antenna alignment
purposes. The automatic option configures the AP/bridge to automatically search for
a link to another AP/bridge or an AP in bridge mode. The root and non−root options
allow you to manually configure the AP/bridge.

scannerCauses the AP/bridge to operate as as scanner only and does not accept
associations from client devices. As a scanner, the AP/bridge collects radio data and
sends it to the WDS server on your network. The scanner mode is supported only
when used with a WLSE device on your network.
