2. Click the Status tab.

The Status screen displays the following read-only device information for MUs interoperating within the switch managed network.

Station Index

Displays a numerical device recognition identifier for a specific MU.

MAC Address

Each MU has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address through which it is identified.

 

This address is burned into the ROM of the MU.

IP Address

Displays the unique IP address for the MU. Use this address as necessary throughout the

 

applet for filtering and device intrusion recognition and approval.

Ready

Displays whether the MU is ready for switch interoperation. Values are Yes and No.

Power Save

Displays the current (read-only) Power-Save-Poll(PSP) state of the MU. The Power Save field

 

has two potential settings. PSP indicates the MU is operating in Power Save Protocol mode.

 

In PSP, the MU runs enough power to check for beacons and is otherwise inactive. CAM

 

indicates the MU is continuously aware of all radio traffic. CAM is recommended for MUs

 

transmitting with the switch’s access ports frequently and for periods of two hours or greater.

WLAN

Displays the name of the switch created WLAN an MU’s associated AP is currently

 

interoperating with.

VLAN

Displays the specific VLAN the target MU is mapped to.

Radio Index

The Radio Index is a numerical device recognition identifier for MU radios. The index is

 

helpful to differentiate device radios when a particular MU has more than one radio.

Radio Type

The Radio Type defines the radio used by the adopted MU. The switch supports 802.11b MUs

 

and 802.11 a/b and 802.11 a/g dual-radio MUs. The radio also supports 802.11a only and

 

802.11g MUs.
