Table 152. Access Point Status screen fields

Item	Description
AP Statistics
AP Name	The default wireless profile with profile name UTM9S or UTM25S is referred to as virtual
	access point zero (VAP0). If you add more wireless profiles, they are referred to as VAP1,
	VAP2, and VAP3.
Radio	The radio to which the client is connected. By default, the radio is always 1.
Packets	The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) packets on the virtual access point in
	bytes.
Bytes	The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) bytes on the virtual access point.
Errors	The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) errors on the virtual access point.
Dropped	The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) dropped packets on the virtual access
	point.
Multicast	The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) multicast packets on the virtual access
	point.
Collisions	The number of signal collisions that have occurred on the virtual access point. A collision
	occurs when the virtual access point attempts to send data at the same time as a wireless
	station that is connected to the virtual access point.
Connected Clients
MAC Address	The MAC address of the client.
Radio	The radio to which the client is connected. By default, the radio is always 1.
Security	The type of security that the client is using (Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, or WPA+WPA2).
Encryption	The type of encryption that the client is using (None, TKIP, AES, or TKIP+AES).
Authentication	The type of authentication that the client is using (Open, PSK, RADIUS, or PSK+RADIUS).
Time	The period in minutes since the connection was established between the virtual access
Connected	point and the client.

Configure a Wireless Distribution System

The UTM9S or UTM25S can function as a station (peer) in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS enables expansion of a wireless network through two or more access points that are interconnected and that use the same radio channel and security mode.

WDS is supported in any of the security modes (see Wireless Security Profiles on page 585). If you configure the access point for WEP, then WDS works in WEP mode; if you configure the access point for WPA2, then WDS works in WPA2 mode, and so on. If you configure
