8.2 Unauthorized AP/Terminal Detection and
Blocking
As the security function, the W-EP wireless LAN device provides the detection service for
an unauthorized AP using the Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS)/WIPS function.
This function detects any AP that is illegally installed without an administrator’s approval
and also any wireless terminals connected to the AP. If an authorized wireless terminal is
connected to an unauthorized AP, some information may be exposed or the wireless LAN
may be attacked in some ways. Therefore, it is important to manage the risk.
