Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status
Note: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop
and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity.
We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.
If you enabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will activate remote logging. The AP will send its kernel messages
real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specied kernel log le, or other storage, depending on how
you congured the Log Relay Host.
If you disabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will disable remote logging.
Viewing Transmit and Receive Statistics
The Transmit/Receive page provides some basic information about the current AP and a real-time display of the
transmit and receive statistics for the Ethernet interface on the AP and for the VAPs on all supported radio interfaces.
All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the AP was last started. If you reboot the AP, these gures
indicate transmit and receive totals since the reboot.
To view transmit and receive statistics for the AP, click the Transmit/Receive page.
