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
Privacy Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring
device
• Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring

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)
Channel 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
Rate Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this AP is
currently transmitting
The current rate will always be one of the rates shown in
Supported Rates
Signal Indicates the strength of the radio signal emitting from this
AP If you hover the mouse pointer over the bars, a number
appears and shows the strength in decibels (dB)
Beacons Shows the total number of beacons received from this AP
since it was first discovered
Section 3: Configuring the Access Point
Last Beacon Shows the date and time of the last beacon received from
this AP
Rates
Shows supported and basic (advertised) rate sets for the
neighboring AP Rates are shown in megabits per second
(Mbps)
All Supported Rates are listed, with Basic Rates shown in

Rate sets are configured on the Radio page
To save the Known AP List to a file, click Save The list contains the MAC
addresses of all APs that have been added to the Known AP List By default, the
filename is Rogue2 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 AP 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:
Choose whether to replace the existing Known AP List or add the entries in

AP List
• Select Merge to import the list and add the APs in the imported file to the
APs currently displayed in the Known AP List
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
Click Import

Once the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of
the APs in the imported file appear in the Known AP List
