The channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses
for transmitting and receiving.
NOTE You can use the Radio page to set the channel.
• Rate—The rate in megabits per second at which the rogue AP is currently
transmitting.
The current rate is always one of the rates shown in Supported Rates.
• 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) appears.
• 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).

To create a Trusted AP List and save it to a file:
STEP 1 In the Detected Rogue AP List, click Trust for APs that are known to you. The
Trusted APs move to the Trusted AP List.
STEP 2 In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, select Backup (AP to PC).
STEP 3 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.
You can 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 is not detected as a rogue.
