Adding APs to the Whitelist

The previous SSID sorted list shows that there are 4 other systems on the
channels of our network plus two single APs. In all cases the actions to take are
as follows:
 If an AP or set of AP's belong to your organization and should be
operating on the these channels, then they can be whitelisted.
 If an AP or set of AP's belong your organization but should not be
operating on these channels, then your IT department should move them
to a different channel.
 If an AP or set of AP's does not belong to your organization, then take
steps to identify its location. If it's deemed legitimate (e.g. a neighbor's
system) then whitelist, otherwise remove the AP.
In our example there are 6 sets of APs that have to be addressed.
1 This set of 3 APs has no SSID displayed which means the APs have
'hidden' their SSID. In this case the only identification that can be used to
find these APs are their MAC addresses.
This "COE" system has 3 related SSIDs but have APs on both of our
2
channels (48 and 149). Its RSSIs indicate that it is not very close to our
system.
This "line_3" network is made up of ProSoft units. Since it did not appear
3
in the list of "Connected RLX2s" it means that these units' Ethernet
network is isolated from the Ethernet of line_1 and line_2 but within
wireless range. In fact they are probably co-located as their RSSI is very
strong.
The "Manrkemesh" system has 4 APs on channel 149. Given its RSSIs
4
are very low this system is also not close by.
The AP with SSID "---------" is an RLX2 unit in Repeater mode but configured to
not allow other Repeaters to connect to it (Allow Children set to NO).
To add an AP to the whitelist right-click on the AP and click on the "Add to
Whitelist" option. Multiple APs can be first selected by holding the Shift or Cntl
key in the normal Windows fashion. Then right click on the selected group and
click on the Add to Whitelist option as shown below.
