Enable new Wireless Networks by default

When enabled, newly discovered wireless networks are automatically available for analysis. This option may generate a large number of assets in Vantage and should be used with caution.

Inspect Privacy MACs on new Wireless Networks by default

When enabled, Vantage inspects privacy MAC addresses on new wireless networks by default. This setting can increase the number of assets with limited identifying information.

Delete transient Assets coming from Wireless Networks

Removes transient assets from wireless networks after a short time. Transient assets are devices that connect briefly and do not remain active.

Clean up inactive transient wireless assets after (days)

Defines how long inactive transient wireless assets are kept before deletion. The value is expressed in days and is calculated based on the difference between the current time and the last recorded activity.
