AT-TQ2403 Management Software User's Guide 85
The associated statio
ns are displayed along with information about packet traffic transmitted and
received for each station.
Note: The Authenticated and Associated Status shows only the underlying IEEE
802.11 authentication/association, which will be present in all Security modes. It does not
refer to or show IEEE 802.1x authentication/association. Some points to keep in mind
with regard to this are:
If the AP is running in Unencrypted ("Plain-text") mode or Static WEP mode, the
authentication and association status of clients showing on the Client Associations
tab will be in line with what is expected; that is, if a client shows as authenticated to
the AP, it will be. (This is because Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
If the AP is running in IEEE 802.1x mode, however, it is possible for a client
association to show on this tab as authenticated (via the IEEE 802.11 security) but
actually not be authenticated to the AP via the second layer of IEEE 802.1x security .
Link Integrity Monitoring
The AT-TQ2403 Management Software provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its
connection to each associated client (even when there is no data exchange occurring). To do this, the AP
sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other traffic is passing. This allows the access
point to detect when a client goes out of range, even during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged.
The client connection drops off the list of associated clients within 300 seconds of a client disappearing,
even if they do not disassociate (but went out of range).
Neighboring Access Points
The status page of Neighboring Access Points provides real-time statistics for all access points
within range of the access point on which you are viewing the Administration Web pages.
To view information about other access points on the wireless network, navigate to Status >
Neighboring Access Points.
