Discovering Networks and Access Points
16
Green closed lock: All access points use security
protocols that are more secure than WEP, for example,
WPA or WPA2.
Gray closed lock: Access points on this network are
using multiple security protocols.
 SNR: The AP’s Signal-to-Noise Ratio, a measure of signal
strength relative to noise. The ratio is measured in
decibels (dB).
 Filter Button: Tap here to filter for specific AP
characteristics, such as minimum signal strength, 802.11
type, or channel.
NOTE: You can
set only one filter at a time. Once a filter is
set, the Access Points screen re-opens. The title of the
screen changes to “Access Points (X of Y)”, such that
X = the number of access points filtered, and
Y = the total number of access points discovered.
This icon appears to the right of the active filter. Tap
the icon to remove the filter.
Tap the Help button on the Filter Access Points By:
screen for more detail about each option.
 Channel: The channel used by the AP.
This is also a v
ariable field, which changes based on the
Sort option currently applied. For example, if the list is
sorted by Client Count, the number of clients connected
to the access point appears in this space on the screen.
For Access Points, this space can also show the SSID,
BSSID, Band, or time since the network was Last Seen.
 Authorization Class Icon: If the AP has a user-assigned
authorization class saved to the current profile, an
authorization indicator appears to the left of the AP
name. Authorization Class can be assigned to individual
APs from the AP Details screen, and the default
Authorization can be set in Settings > 802.11
Settings.
