Client Classification
The Client Classification Screen lets you classify the existing wireless clients into trusted networks and untrusted
networks. New Client information is received from Linksys Business Series Access Points. New Clients start off
as Unclassified until the System Administrator classifies them. A Trusted Client is one that has been identified by
the System Administrator to be known and legitimate. An Untrusted Client is one that is known and not legitimate.
This client could be a malicious client or simply a neighborhood client not part of the network. Remaining clients
that have not been classified can be considered as Unclassified or Unknown.
The left table lists the available unclassified clients with their associated Access Point's SSID. The top right table
lists the clients that have been classified as Trusted. The lower right table lists the clients that have been
classified as Untrusted.
You may check any items from the Unclassified Clients table and click the arrow to classify your selections into
Trusted Clients or Untrusted Clients.
You may click Refresh to refresh the list, Clear to clear selected items on the list, or Back to go to the previous
screen.
Advanced Settings
Click Advanced Settings for classifying your wireless networks with more options, such as Mac Address,
Vendor, SSID and Channel.
Trusted MAC Addresses
The MAC Addresses Screen provides information and function for configuring the existing wireless networks as
trusted networks with MAC Access control of the Access Points and the clients.
The tables list the entry of MAC addresses of your trusted or allowed wireless Access Points and the clients.
Enter the 12-digit hexadecimal numbers in the field and click Delete or Add to delete or add the entry. You may
click the Vendor tab to configure the trusted AP vendor list or SSID to configure the trusted SSID list, Channel to
configure the trusted channel, Back to go to the previous screen.
The Trusted AP with the MAC Address that you have entered will be shown with its associated SSID and MAC
Address in the AP Classification screen. However, it will be shown with an N/A SSID, if it is not listed under the
Unclassified Access Points.
