Section ² - Configuration

Wireless

The wireless section allows you to view the wireless clients that are connected to your wireless access point.

MAC Address:

IP Address:

Mode:

Rate:

Signal:

The Ethernet ID (MAC address) of the wireless

client.

The LAN-side IP address of the client.

The transmission standard being used by the client.

Values are 11a, 11b, 11g, 11ng or 11na for 802.11a,

802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n respectively.

Displays the actual transmission rate of the client

in megabits per second.

This is a relative measure of signal quality. The value is expressed as a percentage of theoretical best quality. Signal quality

can be reduced by distance, by interference from other radio-frequency sources (such as cordless telephones or neighboring

wireless networks), and by obstacles between the access point and the wireless device.

Updates the log details on the screen so it displays

any recent activity.

Clears all of the log contents.

This option will save the access point to a log file

on your computer.

Logs

The access point automatically logs (records) events of possible interest in it’s internal memory. If there isn’t enough

internal memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted but logs of the latest events are retained. The Logs option

allows you to view the access point logs. You can define what types of events you want to view and the level of the

events to view. This access point also has external Syslog Server support so you can send the log files to a computer

on your network that is running a Syslog utility

Statistics

The Statistics page displays all of the LAN, WAN, and Wireless packets transmit and receive statistics.

Sent:

Received:

TX Packets

Dropped:

RX Packets

Dropped:

Collisions:

Errors:

The number of packets sent from the access

point.

The number of packets received by the access

point.

Displays the number of packets that were dropped

while sending, due to errors, collisions, or access

point resource limitations.

Displays the number of packets that were dropped

while receiving, due to errors, collisions, or access

point resource limitations.

Displays the number of packets that were dropped

due to Ethernet collisions (two or more devices

attempting to use an Ethernet circuit at the same

time).

The number of transmission failures that cause loss

of a packet. A noisy radio-frequency environment

can cause a high error rate on the wireless LAN.

Wish Sessions

The WISH Sessions page displays full details of active local wireless sessions through your access point when WISH

has been enabled. A WISH session is a conversation between a program or application on a wirelessly connected

LAN-side computer and another computer, however connected.

Originator:

Target:

Protocol:

State:

Priority:

The IP address and, where appropriate, port

number of the computer that originated a network

connection.

The IP address and, where appropriate, port number

of the computer to which a network connection has

been made.

The communications protocol used for the

conversation.

State for sessions that use the TCP protocol.

• NO: None -- This entry is used as a placeholder for a future connection that may occur.

• SS: SYN Sent -- One of the systems is attempting to start a connection.

• EST: Established -- the connection is passing data.

• FW: FIN Wait -- The client system has requested that the connection be stopped.

• CW: Close Wait -- the server system has requested that the connection be stopped.

• TW: Time Wait -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in FIN Wait is fully closed.

• LA: Last ACK -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in Close Wait is fully closed.

• CL: Closed -- The connection is no longer active but the session is being tracked in case there are any

retransmitted packets still pending.

The priority given to packets sent wirelessly over this conversation by the WISH logic. The priorities are:

• BK: Background (least urgent)

• BE: Best Effort

• VI: Video

• VO: Voice (most urgent)
