Wireless Page The wireless page provides a wireless services summary. You can access the AP
wireless service and WDS/WNM general setup.
AP
An access point acting as the wireless domain services (WDS) on your wireless
LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your
wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to
another, the WDS forwards the client's credentials to the new access point. Only
two packets pass between the client and the new access point, greatly shortening
the reassociation time. The WDS also forwards wireless LAN statistics to the
Wireless LAN Solutions Engine (WLSE).
MAC Address The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned to the
network interface by the manufacturer. If you click the MAC Address link, it takes
you to the Association: Station View - Client screen. The MAC addresses that
appear have been enabled on the SSID manager page.

inactive device.
