14.2.4.2 Wireless Stations
The following screen will appear if you select Advanced > Diagnostics > System Status Tables > Wireless
Stations from the main menu. This screen displays the wireless devices that are connected to your LAN along with
a history of all stations that authenticated and/or associated with the AP. There is only one entry per station, and the
data shown is based on the most recent authentication or association transaction between the AP and the given
station.
Authentication is the security process by which a station is recognized and allowed to associate for the purpose of
passing data. A station must be authenticated before it can associate with an AP. A station can be authenticated by
multiple access points; however, it may be associated with only one at a time. Authentication and association are
separate processes involving separate records. A station initiates both authentication and association, and the AP
firmware completes both. The AP informs the Gateway of the processes via autonomous management messages.
During periods of heavy WLAN traffic, it is possible that management messages will be dropped in favor of data. In
such instances, it is possible for the history to show a station still associated with the AP even though the station
may have roamed to another AP or is off.
NOTE: A Wireless device must be connected to the Gateway for this table to be populated.
