11.4 Associated Wireless Clients

To view the client stations associated with a particular access point, navigate to
Status > Client Associations on the Administration Web pages for the access point
you want to monitor.

The associated stations are displayed, along with information about packet traffic
transmitted and received for each station.

11.4.1 Link Integrity Monitoring

The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway provides link integrity monitoring to continually
verify its connection to each associated client (even when there is no data exchange
occurring). To do this, the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when
no other traffic is passing. This allows the access point to detect when a client goes
out of range, even during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged.The client
connection drops off the list of associated clients within 300 seconds of a client dis-
appearing, even if they do not disassociate (but went out of range).

11.5 Neighboring Access Points

The status page for “neighboring access points” provides real-time statistics for all
access points within range of the access point on which you are viewing the Admin-
istration Web pages.

To view information about other access points on the wireless network, navigate to
Status > Neighboring Access Points.
