The associated stations are displayed along with information about packet traffic
transmitted and received for each station.
Link Integrity Monitoring
The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its
connection to each associated client (even when there is no data exchange occurring).
To do this, the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other traffic
is passing. This allows the access point to detect when a client goes out of range, even
during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged. The client connection drops off
the list of associated clients within 300 seconds of a client disappearing, even if they
do not
disassociate (but went out of range).
What is the Difference Between an Association and a Session?
An association describes a client connection to a particular access point. A session
describes a client connection to the network. A client network connection can shift from
one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can
roam between APs and maintain the session.
For information on monitoring sessions, see "Understanding Session Monitoring
Information" in this manual.
