Status Menu Option

This menu displays important information about the connected clients and the current sessions.

Figure 23 - WLAN Status Display Screen

The screen lists the MAC address of the access point radio cards at the top of each section and then lists the client MAC addresses connected to the access point. The client can be in several states:-

•Quiet

•Authenticated

•Associated

•Power Save

These states are important values when fault-finding wireless systems. The screen also shows the number of transmitted and received bytes fro the session.

These columns can be sorted into low or high ordering by clicking on the column heading (MAC Address, State, Tx Bytes etc). The sorted column is displayed with a yellow up-arrow or down- arrow to show the direction of the sort.

802.1x Status

This screen shows the authentication status of the connected client devices together with session statistics. The 802.1x authentication for WLANs has three components: the supplicant (the client software), the authentication (the access point), and the authentication server (a RADIUS server). See page 25 for details of 802.1x configuration.
