User's Manual

Using the Network Topology Menu
Installation and User Guide: Airgo Access Point 187
View and check the status of all discovered APs from this panel. To delete an AP from the list,
select the radio button to the left of the listing, and click Delete. Deleting an AP removes it from the
topology database and deletes all the details about its configuration. However, because network
discovery is a continuous process, it is possible for a deleted AP to be rediscovered if it is still part
of the network.
Use the Delete feature when an AP is moved out of the network managed by this NM Portal, so that
the portal no longer needs to track the AP. An enrolled AP must be unenrolled first before deleting
it from the topology.
Displaying Discovered Radios
Every 15 minutes, the NM Portal AP polls all the enrolled APs, which then report on all the
wireless devices they can detect. The results of the polling are presented in the Discovered Radio
table (Figure 134), accessible from the Discovered Radios item under the Network Topology menu
in the menu tree.
Use the Discovered Radios list to characterize the wireless network neighborhood and detect
possible rogue APs.

security). Possible values include:
