SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide

 Troubleshooting Status Icon: Identifies whether troubleshooting is in progress on the specified AP

or Client, or both.

 SpectraGuard Security Agent For Endpoints (SAFE) Status Icon: Identifies the SAFE installation

status – Installed-Active, Installed-Inactive, or Not Installed.

 SAFE Risk Level Icon: Identifies the SAFE risk level – High, Medium, or Low.

 Smart Device Icon: Identifies the smart device, that is whether the device is an approved smart

device or unapproved smart device.

 Name: Specifies the user-defined name for the AP or Client. If SAFE is installed then the hostname

of the Client is displayed.

 MAC Address: Specifies the unique 48-bit IEEE format address of the AP or Client assigned to the

network adapter by the manufacturer.

 Security: Shows the security settings for the AP, such as Open, WEP, WPA, 802.11i, or Unknown.

 Encryption: Specifies the encryption used for unicast communication between the AP and a Client.

 MFP/11w: Indicates if the AP implements pre-802.11w standard from Cisco or 802.11w standard, to

mitigate against the DoS attacks against AP.

 Authentication: Specifies the procedure used by APs to verify the identity of a Client.

 SSID: For an AP, it specifies the operating SSID, which is the unique identity that prospective

Clients use to recognize the network. When several WLANs operate in the same space, SSID helps

Clients in deciding which one to join. However, SSID alone does not provide any meaningful

security. For a Client, it specifies the operating SSID of the AP with which the Client is associated.

 Channel: Specifies the channel number on which the AP or Client operates. The channel is shown

as Dual for an AP or Client that operates on both 802.11a and 802.11b/g simultaneously.

 Protocol: For an AP, it specifies the 802.11 protocol used – 802.11a, 802.11b only, 802.11b/g, or

802.11a/b/g, with or without 802.11n capability. For a Client, it specifies the 802.11 protocol (with or

without 802.11 n capability) used by the AP with which the Client is associated.

 Vendor: Specifies the name of the AP or Client manufacturer. The vendor name is inferred from

the first three bytes of the MAC address.

 Network: Shows the Network Tag of the network to which the AP is connected. This value is blank

if the AP is not connected to a network.

 Location: Gives the user-defined location name of the AP or Client.

 Up/Down Since: Specifies the date and time since the AP or Client is up or down.

 # Associated Clients: Specifies the number of Clients associated to the AP.

 Group: Displays the SAFE group to which the Client belongs. It denotes the group assigned to the

SAFE Client.

 Associated AP: Specifies the name of the AP with which a Client is associated. This is the AP

through which the Client communicates with other Clients and other networked devices.

 Cell ID: Specifies an ID for Clients in ad hoc mode. The Cell ID is common for all the Clients that

form a single ad hoc connection.

 Smart Device Type Name: Specifies the type of smart device

 First Detected At: Specifies the date and time when the AP/Client was first detected by the system.

 Configure Display Columns: Clicking on the Column Visibility icon opens a window showing the

columns available for display and their current selection and display order. You can

check/uncheck the checkbox next to the column name to select/deselect it from Device display. You

can change the display order of a column by selecting the column name and moving it up or down

with Up/Down buttons. Save the display settings by clicking the Save button.
