Current DHCP Mappings

On this page, all the current static or dynamic DHCP mappings are shown. A DHCP mapping is a correspondence relationship between an IP address assigned by the DHCP server and a computer or device that obtains the IP address. A computer or device that acts as a DHCP client is identified by its MAC address.

A static mapping indicates that the DHCP client always obtains the specified IP address from the DHCP server. You can set static DHCP mappings in the Static DHCP Mappings section of the DHCP Server configuration page. A dynamic mapping indicates that the DHCP server chooses an IP address from the IP address pool specified by the First allocateable IP address and allocateable IP address count settings on the DHCP Server configuration page.

System Log

System events are recorded in the memory of the NI WAP-3701/3711. The logged information is useful for troubleshooting purposes. The system events are divided into several categories, and you can select which categories of events to log.

Link Monitor (AP Client mode only)

When the NI WAP-3701/3711 is in AP Client mode, you can use the Link Monitor status page to monitor the link quality and signal strength sensed by its RF module. Larger values mean better wireless connectivity to the associated Access Point. This feature is especially useful when you are aligning a pair of directional antennas for bridging applications.

NOTE The values are updated every 20 seconds.
