●
Shows the client type, for example "Sta" stands for IEEE 802.11 standard client.
●
Shows the MAC address of the client.
●
Shows the system name of the client if the client communicates this to the access point.
Not all clients support this parameter.
●
Shows the channel over which the client communicates with the access point.
●
Shows the signal strength of the connected client in bBm.
●
Shows the signal strength of the connected client as a percentage.
●
Shows the time that has elapsed since the last client activity.
●
Shows which authentication method is used.
If the authentication method "Open System + Encryption" or "Shared Key" is used,
"Encrypted (WEP/AES)" is displayed for both authentication methods.
●
Shows the transmission standard. If DFS is activated, the transmission standard
"802.11h" is not shown additionally but only the configured transmission standard
"802.11a".
●
Shows the maximum data transmission speed in megabits per second.
●
Shows the current status of the connection, for example Connected means that the client

WDS List
Communication between access points
In normal operation, the access point is used as an interface to a network and communicates
with clients. There are, however, situations in which several access points need to
communicate with each other, for example to extend wireless coverage or to set up a
wireless backbone. This mode is possible with WDS (Wireless Distributed System).
As default, the list is updated every 2 seconds. To disable the update, click "On". Instead of
"On", "Off" is displayed. As default, updating is always enabled on the WBM page.
tab is available only in access point mode.
