• Signal—The strength of the radio signal emitting from the rogue AP. If you
hover the mouse pointer over the bars, a number representing the strength
in decibels (dB) displays.
• Beacons—The total number of beacons received from the rogue AP since it
was first discovered.
• Last Beacon—The date and time of the last beacon received from the
rogue AP.
• Rates—Supported and basic (advertised) rate sets for the rogue AP. Rates
are shown in megabits per second (Mbps).
All Supported Rates are listed, with Basic Rates shown in bold. Rate sets
are configured on the Wireless > Radio page.
To save the Trusted 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 AP List from a file feature to import a list of known APs from a
saved list. The list might be acquired from another AP or created from a text file. If
the MAC address of an AP appears in the Trusted AP List, it will not be detected as
a rogue.
To import an AP list from a file, use these steps:
Choose whether to replace the existing Trusted AP List or add the entries in the
imported file to the Trusted AP List.
a. Select Replace to import the list and replace the contents of the Known AP
List.
b. 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 that 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.
