WAP43DC FAT Web Manual Chapter 3 Status
3.3 Client Association
Client association showing:
Network Shows which VAP the client is associated with. For example, an
entry of wlan0vap2 means the client is associated with Radio 1,
VAP 2.
An entry of wlan0 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on
Radio 1. An entry of wlan1 means the client is associated with
VAP 0 on Radio 2.
Station Shows the MAC address of the associated wireless client.
Status The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying
IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is
present no matter which type of security the client uses to connect
to the AP. This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication
or association status.
Some points to keep in mind with regard to this field are:
* If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, 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 able to
transmit and receive data. (This is because Static WEP uses only
IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
* If the AP uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, 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 security.
From Station
From Station Shows the number of packets and bytes received from the
wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were
dropped after being received.
To Station Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP
to the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that
were dropped upon transmission.
