Station Status

The Station Status window shows wireless clients currently associated with the access point.

The Station Status page displays basic connection information for all associated stations. Note that this page is automatically refreshed every five seconds.

•Station Address: The MAC address of the remote wireless bridge.

•Authenticated: Shows if the station has been authenticated. The two basic methods of authentication supported for 802.11 wireless networks are “open system” and “shared key.” Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the access point without verifying its identity. The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to stations before attempting authentication.
