Viewing wireless information
The M210 provides several pages where you can view information related to wireless
operation.
Viewing all connected wireless clients
Select Wireless > Client connections.
The following information is displayed for each client currently connected to the M210:
Field Description
Network The wireless community the client is associated with. For
example, an entry of wlan0vap2 means the client is associated
with wireless community 2.
Station The MAC address of the associated wireless client.
Status (Auth and
Assoc)
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.
Keep the following points in mind with regard to this field:
• If the Security method is None or Static WEP, the
authentication and association status of clients showing on
the Client associations page 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 Security method is IEEE 802.1X, WPA
Personal, or WPA Enterprise, it is possible for a client
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 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 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.
