Discovering Clients
29
Channel: The channel a client is using. This field is blank
for probing clients.
AP: Shows the name of the AP the client is associated
with. This field is blank for probing clients.
This is also a variable field, which changes based on the
So
rt option currently applied. For example, if the list is
sorted by 802.11 Type, the 802.11 type icons appear in
this space on the screen, instead of the AP name.
For Clients, this space can also show the SSID, AP BSSID,
Band, or time since the network was Last Seen.
To open the Details screen for a client, tap its row.
The Client Details Screen
The Client Details screen shows the following detailed
information about the client you have selected:
Screen Title: The client’s full MAC address (e.g.,
00:11:22:33:44:55) or OUI compact colon format (e.g.,
Vendor:05:3f:76). See “802.11 Settings,” page 111.
Signal Strength: The client's signal strength in four bars. The
color of the bars changes in real time to reflect the actual
fluctuation in the client's signal strength.
Signal Level: The client's actual signal level in dBm and a
horizontal bar indicating the rating.
SSID: The SSID with which the client is associated. The field is
blank when no client-AP association is detected.
AP Name: The name of the AP with which the client is
associated. The field is blank when no client-AP association is
detected.
AP BSSID: The BSSID of the AP with which the client is
associated. The field is blank when no client-AP association is
detected.
Connection Rate: The speed in Mbps of the last frame seen
from the client.
