C
void WF_CAGetScanType( UINT8 * p_scanType );
Description
Reads the current Connection Algorithm scan type. In active scan, STA will transmit probe request frames and AP/routers will respond by transmitting probe response frames. For AP/Router with hidden SSID, active scan is used. In passive scan, AP/router will continuously transmit beacon frames for every beacon interval (BI), any STAs may/will receive these beacons and know of existence of this AP/router.
Preconditions
MACInit must be called first.

Description |
|
p_scanType |
Pointer where Connection Algorithm scan type is written. Either WF_ACTIVE_SCAN or WF_PASSIVE_SCAN. |
Returns
None
Remarks
Active scanning causes the MRF24W to send probe requests. Passive scanning implies the MRF24W only listens for beacons. Default is WF_ACTIVE_SCAN.
