Custom AP names up to 32 characters can be displayed by the
OneTouch.
Note
You can also import an Authorization Control List
(.acl) with the custom names and statuses of your APs.
See “Save an Authorization File” on
page 237
.
Authorization Status Tool and Default Setting
The authorization status tool allows you to classify access points
on the network. Once you have assigned an authorization status
to an AP, it is marked with an authorization status icon. When
you display the AP list, you can quickly and easily identify new APs
on the network, including unauthorized APs that may present a
security risk.
An access point’s authorization status can be set in one of two
ways:

When an AP is discovered, its authorization status is
automatically set to the default status. The default status is
configured via the HOME screen’s TOOLS menu.
 You can change an AP’s authorization status via the Wi-Fi
Analysis TOOLS menu.
After configuring and saving an AP authorization list, you can
export it and import it to another OneTouch analyzer, for use
with a configured profile.
Set the Default AP Authorization Status
Each AP’s authorization status is indicated by an icon. As each
new AP is discovered, the OneTouch analyzer assigns it a default
status of either Unknown
or Authorized . You can set the
default status as follows:
1 Tap the TOOLS button on the HOME screen.
2 Tap the Wi-Fi button.
