•Status—The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying
IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is present no
matter which type of security the client uses to connect to the WAP device.
This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status.
These are some points to keep in mind with regard to this field:
-If the WAP device security mode is None or Static WEP, the
authentication and association status of clients appears as expected;
that is, if a client shows as authenticated to the WAP device, it is able to
transmit and receive data. (The reason why is that Static WEP uses only
IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
-If the WAP device uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, it is possible for a
client association to appear as authenticated (through IEEE 802.11
security) although it is not actually authenticated through the second
layer of security.
•From Station/ To Station—For the From Station, the counters indicate the
packets or bytes received by the wireless client. For the To Station, the
counters indicate the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the
WAP device to the wireless client.
-Packets—Number of packets received (transmitted) from the wireless
client.
-Bytes—Number of bytes received (transmitted) from the wireless client.
-Drop Packets—Number of packets dropped after being received
(transmitted).
-Drop Bytes—Number of bytes that dropped after being received
(transmitted).
-TS Violate Packets (From Station)—Number of packets sent from a
client STA to the WAP device in excess of its active Traffic Stream (TS)
uplink bandwidth, or for an access category requiring admission control
to which the client STA has not been admitted.
-TS Violate Packets (To Station)—Number of packets sent from the
WAP device to a client STA in excess of its active TS downlink
bandwidth, or for an access category requiring admission control to
which the client STA has not been admitted.
•Up Time—The amount of time the client has been associated with the WAP
device.
