7.4 MON Mode

Use this screen to assign APs either to the rogue AP list or the friendly AP list. A rogue AP is a
wireless access point operating in a network's coverage area that is not under the control of the
network administrator, and which can potentially open up holes in a network's security.

DESCRIPTION
This function is enabled by default and the disassociation priority is always Signal
Strength when you set Mode to By Smart Classroom.
Select this option to disassociate wireless clients connected to the AP when it becomes
overloaded. If you do not enable this option, then the AP simply delays the connection
until it can afford the bandwidth it requires, or it transfers the connection to another AP
within its broadcast radius.
The disassociation priority is determined automatically by the NXC and is as follows:
• Idle Timeout - Devices that have been idle the longest will be disassociated first. If
none of the connected devices are idle, then the priority shifts to Signal Strength.
• Signal Strength - Devices with the weakest signal strength will be disassociated
first.
Note: If you enable this function, you should ensure that there are multiple APs within the
broadcast radius that can accept any rejected or kicked wireless clients; otherwise,
a wireless client attempting to connect to an overloaded AP will be kicked
continuously and never be allowed to connect.
