Discovering Wireless Nodes Within the DockLINK’s Data Range

The DockLINK dynamically discovers wireless nodes as they enter into the DockLINK’s data range. Each time the DockLINK discovers a Wireless Node, it places the node’s MAC Address into an internal database. Alternatively, the DockLINK removes MAC Addresses for wireless nodes that leave the DockLINK’s data range.

The NODE DISCOVERY page displays wireless nodes that are currently within data range of the DockLINK. Nodes found on this screen are connected to the local station using the DockLINK as a bridge. The page displays a table with two main tabs:

∙Station List

∙Connectivity
