Using Web Management to View Event Logs

The Event Logs window shows the log messages generated by the access point and stored in memory.

The Event Logs table displays the following information:

Log Time is the time the log message was generated.

Event Level is the logging level associated with this message. For a description of the various levels, refer to “Logging Level Descriptions” on page 4‐43.

Event Message is the content of the log message.

Error Messages. An example of a logged error message is:

“Station Failed to authenticate (unsupported algorithm).”

This message may be caused by any of the following conditions:

The Access point was set to “Open Authentication,” but a client sent an authentication request frame with a “Shared key.”

The Access point was set to “Shared Key Authentication,” but a client sent an authentication frame for “Open System.”

The WEP keys do not match: When the access point uses “Shared Key Authentication,” but the key used by client and access point are not the same, the frame will be decrypted incorrectly, using the wrong algorithm and sequence number.
