On Devices->AirTight Devices tab, view the spectrogram for the selected AirTight device. Go to page 5
and click the Spectrogram hyperlink present on the Interference widget on this page.

AirTight device.
Monitor Access Points (APs)
The Devices>APs tab displays all the APs associated with the selected location. This includes AirTight
APs, too.
Access points (APs) are hardware devices that transmit and receive radio signals in a wireless network.
Clients like laptops and smart phones connect to an access point to access data on the network that the
access point associates with or is connected to. Access points are, sometimes, used to extend a wired
network.
AirTight Management Console classifies APs into four types
Uncategorized AP - When an AP is first detected by a WIPS sensor, it is treated as an uncategorized
AP.
Authorized AP - This AP is authorized by a network administrator to access the wired/wireless network
and network resources.
Rogue AP - This AP is not authorized to access the network or network resources. It is an AP that is
installed in an unauthorized manner, without the knowledge of or without authorization from a network
administrator. It can be used for malicious activity such as causing damage to your network or stealing
sensitive data from network resources.It is essential to protect your network from rogue APs and
subsequently from the clients that associate with these APs.
External AP - This AP is not connected to your network, but it is detected by a WIPS sensor on your
network due to spillage of the AP radio signal.
Each type of AP is represented with a different color.
Select from category Authorized, Misconfigured, Rogue, External, Uncategorized to view the list of
authorized, misconfigured, rogue, external or uncategorized APs for the selected location. You can
choose one or more of these categories at a time. Select All to view APs from all categories.
