Using the Network Map Window
Deauthenticating and Disassociating Client Devices
Use the Deauthenticate and Disassociate buttons to deauthenticate and 
disassociate the client device from the access point. These buttons appear only on 
Station pages for devices that are associated with the access point, and only users 
with administrator capability can operate them.
• Deauthenticate—Forces a client to re-authenticate with the access point. 
• Disassociate—Allows a client to break its current association, re-evaluate the 
currently associated access point and determine which of the surrounding 
access points has the best signal quality to associate with.
Using the Network Map Window
To open the Network Map window, click Map at the top of any management 
system page. (See the “Navigating Using the Map Windows” section on page 2-4 
for information about the Map page.) When the Map window appears, click 
Network Map. 
You use the Network Map window to open a new browser window displaying 
information for any device on your wireless network. Unlike the Association 
Table, the Network Map window does not list wired devices on your LAN. 
Figure 5-5 shows the Network Map window.
Note Your Internet browser must have Java enabled to use the map windows.
