Security Monitor
The Security Monitor helps to make your network more secure. It monitors the airspace through the WAP200
Access Point and Notebook Adapter for security related issues like vulnerabilities in the network configuration,
which allows you to act quickly to solve issues and secure your network. The Monitor runs on the client PC, which
allows the administrator to perform initial setup of security profiles and classification of the wireless network
devices and later view assorted security alerts.
The
Security Monitor
tab displays the statistics of your wireless network and alerts you of network activity by
Channel Usage, AP Inventory, Client Inventory, or Alerts.
Click
Channel Usage,
AP Inventory
to view the statistics of the distribution on your AP’s classifications,
Client
Inventory
to view the distribution of the client’s classifications on your wireless networks, or
Alert
to monitor
that function.
Channel Usage
The
Channel Usage
screen provides statistics of the distribution on your channel’s usages. The histogram shows
the number of access points in each channel, so unclassified access points can be detected. Select the specified
period of time you want for the data calculations. You may select
Real Tim
e for current data,
24 hours
for data
within the last 24 hours,
7 days
for data within the last 7 days or
