English term or phrase: scanning off
Context:
"The APs scan their operating data channel periodically and have the capability to scan across the entire Wi-Fi spectrum periodically as well, known as XXXXX’s XXXX feature.
XXXX-enabled APs spend most of their time transmitting data and scanning the operating channel rather than scanning off the data channel."

Explanation:
XXXX-enabled APs spend most of their time transmitting data and scanning the operating channel rather than scanning off the data channel.

Los AP con XXXX habilitado pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo transmitiendo datos y escaneando [explorando] el canal en uso, en lugar de escanear [explorar] el canal de datos.

Pienso que el "off" sólo indica la fuente que se está escaneando.

escaneando fuera de


Explanation:
scanning off the data channel
-->
escaneando fuera del canal actualmente activo

The ST is saying, basically, that the AP can scan the entire wi-fi band, but spends most of its time focused on the main task: transferring data in the currently-used channel.

'scanning off the data channel' refers to the time when it is, indeed, looking around to see what's happening on 'other' channels (maybe with a view to switching to an alternative channel which might offer better a signal-strength ratio or transmission reliability).
