Using Sensor ID to Determine RF Threat Location

In the Discovered RF Threat Stations table, the Sensor field indicates which access point is detecting the particular threat. Using the sensor ID and MAC address of the access point allows you to easily determine the location of the access point that is detecting the threat.

For this section in particular (and as a good habit in general), you might find it helpful to keep a record of the locations and MAC addresses of your access points.

  1. Navigate to the DEVICE | Access Points > RF Monitoring page.
  2. In the Discovered RF Threat Stations table, locate the Sensor for the SonicPoint/SonicWave that is detecting the targeted RF threat and record the number.
  3. Navigate to the DEVICE | Access Points > Settings page.
  4. In the SonicPoint/SonicWave Objects table, locate the access point that matches the Sensor number you recorded in Step 2.
  5. Record the MAC address for this access point.

  6. Use the MAC address to find the physical location of the access point.

    The RF threat is likely to be in the location that is served by this access point.
