Blocking Client Devices
When users log into an NXA-WAPZD1000 network, their client devices are recorded and tracked. If, for any
reason, you need to block a client device from network use, you can do so from the Browser-Based
Configuration Pages. The following subtopics describe various tasks that you can perform to monitor, block
and track client devices.
Monitoring Client Devices
1.
Go to the Dashboard (page 20), if it's not already in view.
2.
Under Devices Overview, look at # of Client Devices. If this widget has been hidden, click the Add
Widgets link and select it from the toolbar.
3.
Click the current number, which is also a link. The Currently Active Clients page on the Monitor tab
(page 33) appears, showing the first 15 clients that are currently connected to the NXA-WAPZD1000. If
there are more than 15 currently active clients, the Show More button at the bottom of the page will be
active. To display more clients in the list, click Show More. When all active clients are displayed on the
page, the Show More button disappears.
4.
To block any listed client devices, follow the next set of steps.
Temporarily Disconnecting Specific Client Devices
Follow these steps to temporarily disconnect a client device from your WLAN. (The user can simply reconnect
manually, if they prefer.) This is helpful as a troubleshooting tip for problematic network connections.
1.
Look at the Status column to identify any “Unauthorized” users.
2.
Click the Delete button in the Action column in a specific user row.
3.
The entry is deleted from the Active/Current Client list, and the listed device is disconnected from your
WLAN.
Permanently Blocking Specific Client Devices
Follow these steps to permanently block a client device from WLAN connections.
1.
Look at the Status column to identify any unauthorized users.
2.
Click the Block button in the Action column in a specific user row.
3.
The status is changed to Blocked. This will prevent the listed device (and its user) from using your
WLAN.
Reviewing a List of Previously Blocked Clients
1.
Go to Configure > Access Controls.
2.
Review the Blocked Clients table.
3.
You can unblock any listed MAC address by clicking the Unblock button for that address.
