Station Status
The Station Status window shows the wireless clients currently
associated with the access point.
The Station Configuration page displays basic connection
information for all associated stations as described below. Note
that this page is automatically refreshed every five seconds.
•
Station Address: The MAC address of the wireless client.
•
Authenticated: Shows if the station has been authenticated.
The two basic methods of authentication supported for 802.11
wireless networks are “open system” and “shared key.”
Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to
connect to the access point without verifying its identity. The
shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to
verify client identity by distributing a shared key to stations
before attempting authentication.
