Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual
For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying
information (SSID or Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio
statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval). You can click on an AP to get
additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
• Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain
so that you can take action to limit associated risks.
• Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what
signal strength from other APs, you can verify that the deployment meets
your planning goals.
• Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a
glance in the colour-coded table.
9.3 Viewing Wireless Neighborhood
Details about Wireless Neighborhood information shown is described below.
Field Description
Display Neighbor-
ing APs
Click one of the following radio buttons to change the view:
• In cluster - Shows only neighbor APs that are members of the cluster.
• Not in cluster - Shows only neighbor APs that are not cluster members.
• Both - Shows all neighbor APs (cluster members and non-members).
Cluster
The “Cluster” list at the top of the table shows IP addresses for all access points in the cluster.
(This is the same list of cluster members shown on the Cluster > Access Points tab described in
“Navigating To Access Points Management” on page 55.)
If there is only one AP in the cluster, only a single IP address column will be displayed here;
indicating that the AP is “clustered with itself”.
You can click on an IP address to view more details on a particular AP as shown in Figure 9.3 on
page 86.
