Link Integrity Monitoring
The UAP provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its connection to each associated client. To do
this, the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other traffic is passing. This allows the AP
to detect when a client goes out of range, even during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged. The client
connection drops off the list within 300 seconds if these data packets are not acknowledged, even if no
disassociation message is received.
Viewing Rogue AP Detection
The status page to view Rogue AP Detection information provides real ‐ time statistics for all APs within range
of the AP on which you are viewing the Administration Web pages. When AP detection is enabled, the radio
will periodically switch from its operating channel to scan other channels within the same band. Click Refresh
to update the screen and display the most current information.
The Rogue AP Detection page contains the following two lists:
• Detected Rogue AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have not been acknowledged as known
APs.
• Known AP List — Lists all APs within range of the AP that have been acknowledged as known APs either by
clicking the Grant button associated with an AP in the Detected Rogue AP List or by appearing in an
imported AP list.
To view information about other access points on the wireless network, click the Rogue AP Detection tab.
