Glossary

The thresholds are:

Threshold Description

New Associations Enter the maximum number of new associations per minute

AirDefense will allow between a BSS and all Wireless Clients

combined.

Default = 20.

Generally, this number should be low. Your Wireless Clients should

associate with a BSS once in the morning when users log on, and

rarely after that. In some cases, if the threshold value represents the

actual number of Wireless Clients in a BSS, an alarm will be

generated if the BSS goes o-line, forcing the Wireless Clients to re-

associate with it. In no case should this value be greater than the

actual number of Wireless Clients in a BSS.

If the signal strength between a Wireless Client and a BSS is very

low, the Wireless Client may repeatedly lose connectivity and then

reconnect, increasing the number of associations per minute.

Total Associations Enter the total number of Wireless Clients allowed to associate at

any one time with a BSS. This number should reﬂect your actual

number of Wireless Clients. AirDefense generates an alarm if it

detects a greater number, assuming that the extra associations are

made by hackers.

Default = 15.

Data Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of data frames per minute allowed to

be transmitted from all Wireless Clients combined. If AirDefense

detects a greater number, it generates an alarm.

Default = 0.
