FIG. 19 Client Information

The items on this page include:

Station Address: The MAC address of the wireless client.

Authenticated: Shows if the client has been authenticated. The two basic methods of authentication supported for 802.11 wireless networks are “open system” and “shared key.” Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the WAP250G without verifying its identity. The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients before attempting authentication.

Associated: Shows if the client has been successfully associated with the WAP250G. Clients can associate with the WAP250G only after authentication has completed.

Encryption: Indicates if encryption is being used by the client; either Enabled or Disabled.

Cipher: Indicates the encryption cipher capability being advertised by the client; WEP, TKIP, AES, or None.

SSID -- The VAP interface that the client is associated with.

RSSI -- The received signal strength of the client.
