WF_CASetScanType Function

void WF_CASetScanType(
    UINT8 scanType
);

Configures the Connection Algorithm for the desired 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.

MACInit must be called first.

None

Active scanning causes the MRF24W to send probe requests. Passive scanning implies the MRF24W only listens for beacons. Default is WF_ACTIVE_SCAN.
