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.
Link Integrity Monitoring
The U.S. Robotics Professional Access Point 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 disappearing, even if they do not disassociate (but went out of range).
What is the Difference Between an Association and a Session?
An association describes a client connection to a particular access point. A session describes a client connection to the network. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the session.
For information on monitoring sessions, see Understanding Session Monitoring Information.
