The associated stations are shown along with information about packet traffic
transmitted and received for each station.
• Total Number of Associated Clients—The total number of clients currently
associated with the WAP device.
• Network Interface—The VAP the client is associated with. On WAP561
devices, WLAN0 and WLAN1 precede the VAP interface name to indicate
the radio interface (WLAN0 represents radio 1 and WLAN1 represents
radio 2).
• Station—The MAC address of the associated wireless client.
• Status—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 WAP device.
This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status.
These are some points to keep in mind with regard to this field:
- If the WAP device security mode is None or Static WEP, the
authentication and association status of clients appears as expected;
that is, if a client shows as authenticated to the WAP device, it is able to
transmit and receive data. (The reason why is that Static WEP uses only
IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
- If the WAP device uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, it is possible for a
client association to appear as authenticated (through IEEE 802.11
security) although it is not actually authenticated through the second
layer of security.
• From Station/To Station—For the From Station, the counters indicate the
packets or bytes received by the wireless client. For the To Station, the
counters indicate the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the
WAP device to the wireless client.
- Packets—Number of packets received (transmitted) from the wireless
client.
- Bytes—Number of bytes received (transmitted) from the wireless client.
- Drop Packets—Number of packets dropped after being received
(transmitted).
- Drop Bytes—Number of bytes that dropped after being received
(transmitted).

TSPEC Client Associations
The TSPEC Client Associations page provides real-time information about the
TSPEC client data transmitted and received by this access point. The tables on
the TSPEC Client Associations page show voice and video packets transmitted
and received since the association started, along with status information.
A TSPEC is a traffic specification that is sent from a QoS-capable wireless client to
a WAP device 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 codecgenerated 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.
To view TSPEC client association statistics, select Status and Statistics > TSPEC
Client Associations in the navigation pane.
The TSPEC Client Associations page shows this information:

A system clock provides a network-synchronized time-stamping service for
software events such as message logs. You can configure the system clock
manually or configure the WAP device as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client
that obtains the clock data from a server.
Use the Time Settings page to set the system time manually or to configure the
system to acquire its time settings from a preconfigured NTP server. By default,
the WAP device is configured to obtain its time from a predefined list of NTP
servers.
The current system time appears at the top of the page, along with the System
Clock Source option.
To use NTP to have the WAP device automatically acquire its time settings:
STEP 1 For the System Clock Source field, select Network Time Protocol (NTP).
STEP 2 Configure these parameters:
• NTP Server/IPv4/IPv6 Address Name—Specify the IPv4 address, IPv6
address, or hostname of an NTP server. A default NTP server is listed.
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63
alphanumeric characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is
separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up
to 253 characters long.
• Time Zone—Select the time zone for your location.
