ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
The following table explains the fields of the Access Point Status screen.
Configure a Wireless Distribution System
The UTM9S or UTM25S can function as a station (peer) in a Wireless Distribution System
(WDS). WDS enables expansion of a wireless network through two or more access points
that are interconnected and that use the same radio channel and security mode.
WDS is supported in any of the security modes (see Wireless Security Profiles on page 585).
If you configure the access point for WEP, then WDS works in WEP mode; if you configure
the access point for WPA2, then WDS works in WPA2 mode, and so on. If you configure

Item Description
AP Statistics
AP Name The default wireless profile with profile name UTM9S or UTM25S is referred to as virtual
access point zero (VAP0). If you add more wireless profiles, they are referred to as VAP1,
VAP2, and VAP3.
Radio The radio to which the client is connected. By default, the radio is always 1.
Packets The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) packets on the virtual access point in
bytes.
Bytes The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) bytes on the virtual access point.
Errors The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) errors on the virtual access point.
Dropped The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) dropped packets on the virtual access
point.
Multicast The number of received (Rx) and transmitted (Tx) multicast packets on the virtual access
point.
Collisions The number of signal collisions that have occurred on the virtual access point. A collision
occurs when the virtual access point attempts to send data at the same time as a wireless
station that is connected to the virtual access point.
Connected Clients
MAC Address The MAC address of the client.
Radio The radio to which the client is connected. By default, the radio is always 1.
Security The type of security that the client is using (Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, or WPA+WPA2).
Encryption The type of encryption that the client is using (None, TKIP, AES, or TKIP+AES).
Authentication The type of authentication that the client is using (Open, PSK, RADIUS, or PSK+RADIUS).
Time
