Fluke AIRCHECK - Discover Networks and Access Points

AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester
Users Manual
46
The options to set a series of APs saves you configuration
time and provides quick visibility into potential security or
policy issues. For example, if a specific vendor equipment is
not allowed per your network policy, use the vendor MAC
prefix to set the ACL to Unauthorized or Flagged.
When detected, those APs will be reported as such.
To set a default authorization status
1 Select Tools.
2 Select Set device authorization (ACL) default
3 Choose Set status to “Unknown” or Set Status to
“Authorized”, then press  Save.
Note
If an access point does not transmit, but you know
its MAC address, you can use AirCheck Manager to
give the access point an authorization status. Save
the status in a profile on the PC, then transfer the
profile to the tester.
