Saving and Importing the Known AP List

To save the Known AP list to a file, click Save. The list contains the MAC addresses of all AP that have been added to
the Known AP List. By default, the filename is Rogue1.cfg. You can use a text editor or Web browser to open the file
and view its contents.
Use the Import feature to import a list of Known APs from a saved list. The list might be from another DWL-x600AP or
created from a text file. If the MAC address of an AP appears in the Known AP List, it will not be detected as a rogue.
To import an AP List from a file, use the following steps:
1.) Choose whether to replace the existing Known AP list or add the entries in the imported file to the Known AP list.
•) Select the Replace option to import the list and replace the contents of the Known AP List.
•) Select the Merge option to import the list and add the APs in the imported file to the APs currently displayed in
the Known AP List.
2.) Click Browse and choose the file to import.
•) The file you import must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries in the file are MAC addresses
in hexadecimal format with each octet separated by colons, for example 00:11:22:33:44:55. Separate entries
with a single space. For the AP to accept the file, it must contain only MAC addresses.
3.) Click Import.
•) Once the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of the APs in the imported file

Description
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 control over the APs on the list and cannot apply any security policies to
APs detected through the RF scan.
Shows the MAC address of the neighboring AP.
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).
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 referred to as the Network Name.
The SSID is set on the VAP page. (See
Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
•) Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to None (no
security).
•) On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
•) Security is configured on the AP from the VAP page.
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)
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 Radio Settings. (See
