Figure 6-1. Viewing Wireless Station Associations
The screen displays this information for each station associated with one of
the WLANs on this module:
■ Index—Stations are listed in the order in which they associated.
■ MAC address—Use this value to identify the station.
■ IP Address—A station must receive an IP address for full network
connectivity.
■ Ready—A green check mark indicates that the station has completely
authenticated and associated to a WLAN. A red X reveals that the station
cannot yet send data, usually because it failed to authenticate.
■ Power Save—A station that uses power save turns off the wireless con-
nection except when actively sending or receiving data. The Wireless Edge
Services xl Module tracks these stations and ensures that packets are
correctly buffered for them.
Power save extends a station’s battery life, but might result in jittery real-
time applications. If a user complains of low quality of service (QoS) and
you see that his or her station implements power save, you could suggest
that the user disable that feature.
