On this screen you can enable or disable the security monitor feature of this Wireless Access Point. It also allows
you to create user accounts for system administrators to use this advanced feature.
This feature works together with WPC4400N and future Linksys Business Series wireless client adapters. A client
utility will be provided with the client card, which will allow you to download information from the Access Point.
The current version will support wireless Access Points and wireless clients detection and classification. Please
check Linksys.com for future updates on this powerful security feature.
