Access point A is now configured to do the following.
• Scan for access points in its coverage area every ten minutes.

• Send immediate alerts to your email account if it detects an access point not on

the same things.
For each access point, take the following steps.

login to its Web configurator. See
Table 16 on page 84 for the example IP
addresses.

Import the friendly AP list. Click ROGUE AP > Configuration > Browse... . Find
the “Flist” file where you previously saved it on the network and click Open .

Click Import . Check the ROGUE AP > Friendly AP screen to ensure that the
friendly AP list has been correctly uploaded.

Activate periodic rogue AP detection. See Section 6.3.2 on page 88 .

Set up e-mail logs as in Section 6.3.3 on page 89 , but change the Mail Subject
field so you can tell which AP the alerts come from (“ALERT_Access_Point_B”, etc.)
