It is important the Radio Mode parameter correspond to the AP to which the device is to connect. For example, if this 
parameter is set to G rates only, the Thor VX9 may only connect to APs set for G rates and not those set for B and G 
rates.
Contact Technical Assistance (page 9-1) if you have questions about the antenna(s) installed on your Thor VX9.

Custom Parameter Option
Honeywell does not support the parameter Custom option. The parameter value is displayed as “Custom” when the 
operating system registry has been edited to set the Summit parameter to a value that is not available from the param-
eter’s drop down list. Selecting Custom from the drop down list has no effect. Selecting any other value from the drop 
down list will overwrite the “custom” value in the registry.

Aggressive  Scan  On When set to On and the current connection to an AP weakens, the radio ag-
gressively scans for available APs.
Aggressive scanning works with standard scanning (set through Roam 
Trigger, Roam Delta and Roam Period). Aggressive scanning should be set 
to On unless there is significant co-channel interference due to overlapping 
APs on the same channel.
Options are: On, Off
