CHAPTER 22: Setting Up the WLAN Using the Wireless Wizard and Monitoring Your WLAN

WLAN Settings

In addition to providing different status views for Access Point and Wireless Bridge modes, two new functions have been added to the Wireless > Status page:

Hyperlinked WLAN Settings - All configurable WLAN settings are now hyperlinked to their respective pages for configuration. (Present in both Access Point and Wireless Bridge modes). Enabled features are displayed in green, and disabled features are displayed in red.

Automated Station Blocking - Previously, the Station Status view allowed for stations to be added to the MAC allow list, or disassociated from the TZ 50 Wireless/TZ 150 Wireless/TZ 170 Wireless. The disassociated station, however, could easily re-associate unless other prohibitive actions were taken. This functionality has been enhanced by adding the Block icon. Clicking this icon disassociates the station and adds the station to the MAC block list.To begin configuring advanced features on the TZ 50 Wireless/TZ 150 Wireless/TZ 170 Wireless, log into the management interface, and click Wireless. The Status page is displayed and contains information relating to the WLAN connection.
