configuration utility, and includes the following topics:

• 6WDUWLQJWKH:HEEDVHG$3&RQILJXUDWLRQ8WLOLW\

6WDUWLQJWKH:HEEDVHG$3&RQILJXUDWLRQ8WLOLW\

This section describes how to navigate the AP configuration utility.

Browsers have the following restrictions:

• If you are using Internet Explorer 6, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address

to access the AP. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System)

server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then

use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.

• To use Internet Explorer 8, open a browser window and configure the

following settings:

Click 7RROV!,QWHUQHW2SWLRQV and then select the 6HFXULW\ tab. Select

/RFDO,QWUDQHW and click 6LWHV. Click $GYDQFHG and then click $GG. Add the

intranet address of the AP (http://<ip-address>) to the local intranet zone.

The IP address can also be specified as the subnet IP address, so that all

addresses in the subnet are added to the local intranet zone.

• If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the

IPv6 global address instead of IPv6 link local address to access the AP from

your browser.

• 1HWZRUN,QWHUIDFH—The VAP the client is associated with. For example, an

• 6WDWLRQ—The MAC address of the associated wireless client.

• 6WDWXV—The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying

IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is present no

matter which type of security the client uses to connect to the AP. This

status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status.

The following are some points to keep in mind with regard to this field:

- If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, the authentication and

association status of clients showing on the Client Associations tab will

be in line with what is expected; that is, if a client shows as authenticated

to the AP, it will be able to transmit and receive data. (This is because

Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)

- If the AP uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, however, it is possible for a

client association to show on this tab as authenticated (via the IEEE

802.11 security) but actually not be authenticated to the AP via the

second layer of security.

• )URP6WDWLRQ7R6WDWLRQ—For the From Station, the following counters

indicate the packets or bytes received by the wireless client. For the To

The TSPEC Client Associations page provides information about the TSPEC

client data transmitted and received by this access point. The tables on this page

show voice and video packets transmitted and received by the association, along

with status information.

This page shows a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for the

TSPEC clients. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the client

association started.

A TSPEC is a traffic specification that is sent from a QoS-capable wireless client to

an AP requesting a certain amount of network access for the traffic stream (TS) it

represents. A traffic stream is a collection of data packets identified by the

wireless client as belonging to a particular user priority. An example of a voice

traffic stream is a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED telephone handset that marks its codec-

generated data packets as voice priority traffic. An example of a video traffic

stream is a video player application on a wireless laptop that prioritizes a video

conference feed from a corporate server.
