Monitor Wireless Stations - NETGEAR ProSafe WNAP320 Reference Manual

Monitor Wireless Stations

The Wireless Stations screen contains the Available Wireless Stations table. This table shows
all IP devices that are associated with the wireless access point in the wireless network that
is defined by the wireless network name (SSID). The table heading indicates the wireless
mode (802.11b, 802.11bg, or 802.11ng).
Note: A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all
using the same network name (SSID). This extends the reach of the
wireless network and allows users to roam from one wireless access
point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. Under
these circumstances, be aware that the Available Wireless Stations
table includes only the stations associated with this wireless access
point.
To view the attached wireless stations, and to view details for a wireless station:
1. Select Monitoring > Wireless Stations. The Wireless Stations screen displays:
Figure 41.
To update the list, click Refresh. If the wireless access point is rebooted, the wireless
station data is lost until the wireless access point rediscovers the devices. To force the
wireless access point to look for associated devices, click Refresh.
For each device, the Available Wireless Stations table shows the MAC address, BSSID,
SSID, channel, rate, state, type, AID, mode, and status. For information about these and
more fields, see the following table.
