Remote AP Connectivity
The information shown on the Connectivity tab will vary, depending upon the current status of the remote AP. If
a remote AP has been successfully provisioned and connected, it should display some or all of the information in
Table 36.
The top of the Connectivity tab has a Refresh link that allows users to refresh the data on their screen. Additional
information at the bottom of this tab shows the date, time and reason the remote AP last rebooted. The Reboot
RAP Now button reboots the remote AP.
Remote AP Diagnostics
Use the Diagnostics tab to view log files, or run diagnostic tests that can help the IT department troubleshoot
errors. You can also use the Reboot AP Now button at the bottom of the Diagnostic window reboots the remote
AP.
To run a diagnostic test on a remote AP:
1. Access the RAP console, and click the Diagnostics tab
2. Click the Test drop-down list and select Ping, Traceroute, NSLookup or Throughput.
The ping and traceroute tests require that you enter a network destination in the form of an IP address or fully-
qualified domain name, and select either bridge or tunnel mode for the test. The NSLookup diagnostic test
requires that you enter a destination only. The throughput test checks the throughput of the link between the
AP and the controller, and does not require any additional test configuration settings.
3. Click OK to start the test. The results of the test will appear in the Diagnostics window.
To display log files in a separate browser window, click the logs drop-down list at the upper right corner of the
Diagnostics window, and select any of the log file name. The type of log files available will vary, depending upon
your remote AP configuration.
Enabling Double Encryption
The double encryption feature applies only for traffic to and from a wireless client that is connected to a tunneled
SSID. When this feature is enabled, all traffic (which is already encrypted using Layer-2 encryption) is re-
encrypted in the IPSec tunnel. When this feature is disabled, the wireless frame is only encapsulated inside the
IPSec tunnel.
All other types of data traffic between the controller and the AP (wired traffic and traffic from a split-tunneled
SSID) are always encrypted in the IPSec tunnel.

subnet mask, and gateway IP address.
Gateway Connectivity If successful, this item also shows the percentage of packet loss for data received from the gateway
TPM Certificates If successful, the AP has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) certificate.
Master Connectivity Shows if the AP was able to connect to the master controller. This item also shows the IP address to
which the AP attempted to connect, and, if the AP did connect successfully, the link that was used to
connect to that controller.
