NXA-WAP250G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the WAP-250G
without verifying its identity. The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients before attempting
authentication.
Associated: Shows if the client has been successfully associated with the WAP-250G. Clients
can associate with the WAP-250G only after authentication has completed.
Encryption: Indicates if encryption is being used by the client; either Enabled or Disabled.
Cipher: Indicates the encryption cipher capability being advertised by the client; WEP, TKIP,
AES, or None.
SSID -- The VAP interface that the client is associated with.
RSSI -- The received signal strength of the client.
