Available Access Points
The Available Access Points table displays the list of active Access Points for this device (from the
AP table in the Access Points menu). From this summary list, status and parameters of each AP
are available for display.
AP Name: This is AP identifier which uniquely identifies AP in the list of configured APs.
SSID: the name or SSID (service set identifier) is the name of the wireless network serviced by
this AP; it is configured on the Profile page and later associated with AP by selecting it from the
profile drop down box. Note that a given wireless profile can be common to multiple APs, and so
the SSID is not unique to an AP. In order for the computers or devices to communicate via this
wireless network serviced by this AP, all devices must select the same SSID from the list of
wireless networks in the area.
Profile: This field has a brief description of the security, encryption and authentication combination
assigned to the AP. A Profile is not necessarily unique to an AP, rather this grouping of wireless
settings can be used on more than one AP at the same time.
Radio: The physical radio(s) on which this AP is running on. An AP can run on multiple radios at
the same time for load-balancing and better throughput.
VLAN: The AP can be part of a logical network defined by the VLAN id; this allows devices
connected to the VLAN through this AP to exchange data with one another as in a LAN.
Action/Status: The status button will link to a statistics page for this AP, displaying traffic
information for the AP and an overview of the connected clients.
