Acknowledging Rogue Aps; Locating Clients - Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System 2.1 Product Manual

Note that the ACS Location (High-Resolution) Software (OV-ACSLOC) compares RSSI signal
strength from two or more OmniAccess AP Access Points to find the most probable location of
the rogue AP, and places a small "skull-and-crossbones" indicator at its most likely location.
Note that the ACS Basic (Low-Resolution) Software (OV-ACS-BASE) function compares RSSI
signal strength from the rogue AP, and places a small "skull-and-crossbones" indicator next to
the OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 receiving the strongest RSSI signal from the Rogue AP.

Acknowledging Rogue APs

•
To acknowledge known Rogue APs, navigate to the Rogue AP Alarms page. Right-click the
Rogue AP (red, unknown) to be acknowledged, and select Set State to 'Known Internal' or
Set State to 'Known External'. In either case, the red Rogue AP entry is removed from the
Alarms Page.

Locating Clients

Locating Clients
The ACS Software allows system operators to locate clients in the enterprise. Do the following:
•
Use Monitor/Clients to navigate to the Clients Summary page.
•
From the Clients Summary page, in the left sidebar Search for All Clients to have ACS
display the Clients page.
•
From the Clients page, click the User Name of the client you want to locate. ACS displays the
corresponding Clients <client name> page.
•
From the Clients <client name> page, you have two choices for locating the client:
-
In the pulldown menu, select Recent Map (high/low resolution) to locate the client
without dissociating it.
-
In the pulldown menu, select Present Map (high/low resolution) to dissociate and
then locate the client after reassociation. If you make this choice, ACS displays a
warning message and asks you to confirm that you want to continue.
