4. When using clustering and the Cluster GUI feature is enabled, a pull-down menu will be available to select which
cluster members' APs are displayed. To view APs from all cluster members, select
view APs radios from a specific cluster member, select that member's IP address from the pull-down menu.
5. Click the Export
6. Click the Convert to Sensor
Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) application.
NOTE: Both Access Ports and standalone Access Points can be converted to sensors.
When converting an AP300 Access Port to a sensor, both the 802.11a and 802.11bg radios
are converted to sensors. When using a standalone Access Point, such as the AP5131,
one radio can be converted into a sensor and the other radio can function as standard
radio.
NOTE: When converting APs to sensors, the default sensor configuration will be sent to
each AP. If a static IP is configured in the default sensor configuration, all sensors will
receive the same IP address and cause an IP address conflict. It is recommended not to
set a static IP for the default sensor configuration and to update individual sensors if they
require static IPs.
WIDS uses sensors to collect data transmitted by 802.11a and 802.11b/g compliant devices and sends the data to a
centralized server for analysis and correlation. Sensors are passive devices that function primarily in listen-only mode.
A single sensor can monitor multiple APs.
Once the sensor collects wireless LAN data, the centralized server analyzes the 802.11 frames and extracts meaningful
data points to determine key attributes, such as:
• Wireless device associations
• Use of encryption and authentication
• Vendor identification of all devices
• Total data transferred
Preprocessing data centrally ensures a reduced reliance on network bandwidth to perform wireless network
management.
7. Click the Location LED

Displays the IP address of the adopted Access Port.
Displays the software version the Access Port boots from. This information can be helpful
when troubleshooting problems.
Displays the version of the interface protocol between the Access Port and the switch.
This information can be helpful when troubleshooting problems with the Access Port.
Displays the Access Port firmware version at run time. Use this information to assess
whether the software requires an upgrade for better compatibility with the switch.
Displays the indices of the radios belonging to the selected Access Port. These indices
are equivalent to a numerical device recognition identifier (index) for the radio.
The Number of Adopted APs is the total number of Access Ports currently adopted by
Switch.
