Band ThisindicatestheIEEE802.11modebeingusedonthisAP.(Forexample,IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11b,IEEE802.11g.)
Thenumbershownindicatesthemodeaccordingtothefollowingmap:
• 2.4indicatesIEEE802.11b,802.11g,or802.11nmode(oracombinationofthemodes)
• 5indicatesIEEE802.11aor
802.11nmode(orbothmodes)
Channel ShowstheChannelonwhichtheAPiscurrentlybroadcasting.
Thechanneldefinestheportionoftheradiospectrumthattheradiousesfortransmitting
andreceiving.
ThechannelissetinRa dioSettings.(See“ModifyingRadioSettings”onpage58.)
Rate Showstherate(inmegabits
persecond)atwhichthisAPiscurrentlytransmitting.
ThecurrentratewillalwaysbeoneoftheratesshowninSupportedRates.
Signal IndicatesthestrengthoftheradiosignalemittingfromthisAP.Ifyouhoverthemouse
pointeroverthebars,anumberappearsandshowsthestrengthin
decibels(dB).
Beacons ShowsthetotalnumberofbeaconsreceivedfromthisAPsinceitwasfirstdiscovered.
LastBeacon ShowsthedateandtimeofthelastbeaconreceivedfromthisAP.
Rates Showssupportedandbasic(advertised)ratesetsfortheneighboringAP.Rate sareshown
inmegabitspersecond(Mbps).
All
SupportedRatesarelisted,withBasicRatesshowninbold.
RatesetsareconfiguredontheRadioSettingspage.(See“ModifyingRadioSettings”on
page58.)
KnownAPList
Action AnAPcanappearintheKnownAPListifithasbeenmovedfromtheDetectedRogueAP
Listbyclicking
theGrantbuttonoriftheMACaddressoftheAP appearsinanAPlistthat
hasbeenimported.
TomovetheAPfromtheKnownAPListtotheDetectedRogueAPList,clickDelete.
Note:TheDetectedRougeAPandKnownAPlistsprovideinformation.TheDWL
‐x600AP
doesnothaveanycontr olovertheAPs onthelistandcannotapplyanysecuritypolicies
toAPsdetectedthroughtheRFscan.
MAC ShowstheMACaddressoftheneighboringAP.
Radio TheRadiofieldindicateswhichradiodetectedtheneighboringAP:
•wlan0(RadioOne)
•wlan1(RadioTwo)
Type Indicatesthe
typeofdevice:
• APindicatestheneighboringdeviceisanAPthatsupportstheIEEE802.11Wireless
NetworkingFrameworkinInfrastructureMode.
• AdhocindicatesaneighboringstationrunninginAdhocMode.Stationssettoadhoc
modecommunicatewitheachotherdirectly,withouttheuseofatraditional
AP.Ad‐
hocmodeisanIEEE802.11WirelessNetworkingFrameworkalsoreferredtoaspeer‐
to‐peermodeoranIndependentBasicServiceSet(IBSS).
SSID TheServiceSetIdentifier(SSID)fortheAP.
TheSSIDisanalphanumericstringofupto32charactersthatuniquelyidentifiesa
wireless
localareanetwork.Itisalsoref erredtoastheNetworkName.
TheSSIDissetontheVAPpage.(See“ConfiguringLoadBalancing”onpage88.)
