From this tab you can view location descriptions ip addresses enable activate or disable deactivate clustered access points and remove access points from the cluster you can also modify the location description for an access point 40
Note that auto synchronization always occurs during configuration updates that affect the cluster but the processing time is usually negligible the auto synch progress bar is displayed only for longer than usual wait times 40
Standalone access points those which are not members of the cluster are not shown on this page 40
The access points tab provides information about all access points in the cluster 40
The ip address links provide a way to navigate to configuration settings and data on an access point 40

Session monitoring 47
A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device station with a unique mac address maintains a connection with the wireless network the session begins when the client logs on to the network and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason 48
Details about the session information shown is described below 48
Field description 48
The sessions page shows information on client stations associated with access points in the cluster each client is identified by user name and user mac address along with the ap location to which it is currently connected 48
To view a particular statistic for client sessions select an item from the display drop down list and click go you can view information on idle time data rate signal utilization and so on all of which are described in detail in the table below 48

Recommendations 67
See also 67
Static wep was designed to provide the security equivalent of sending unencrypted data through an ethernet connection however it has major flaws and it does not provide even this intended level of security 67
Therefore static wep is not recommended as a secure mode the only time to use static wep is when interoperability issues make it the only option available to you and you are not concerned with the potential of exposing the data on your network 67

Guest network 73
Plain text means any data transferred to and from the d link dwl 2210ap is not encrypted 73
Plain text mode can be useful during initial network configuration or for problem solving but it is not recommended for regular use on the internal network because it is not secure 73
Plain text mode is the only mode in which you can run the guest network which is by definition an easily accessible unsecure lan always virtually or physically separated from any sensitive information on the internal lan for example the guest network might simply provide internet and printer access for day visitors 73
