Clearing Wireless

The Clear wireless client Table feature ensures that wireless clients associating with

the AP are active. You should only clear the wireless client association table for

longer in use.

Options

128-entry circular buffer. To set even logging options, do the following:

1

Select Set Event Logging Configuration from the Main Menu, which generates the

 

Event Logging Configuration window.
