Access Points

The Access Points view of the SonicOS Dashboard summarizes the information about the access points in the network. The navigation path for the Access Points view is HOME > Dashboard > Access Points.

The Acess Points view offers a high level view of the performance of the access points in the network. You canreview the summaries across the top of the page and then scroll to see the different reports.

If you have no access points configured, the reports will be blank.

For SonicWave, HOME | Dashboard > Access Points uses charts and graphs to help visualize the data related to the access points that are connected to your network. You can display both real-time status and historical status, as well as each client’s rate, OS type, and host name. This Dashboard also displays the status of the SonicWave devices and provides information to help with monitoring problematic diagnosis.

A summary of the access points are shown at the top of the page. The data is presented as a doughnut chart; online is green and offline is red. The Online status includes operational, disabled, rebooting, and in IDS scanning mode. Offline status includes unresponsive and initializing states.

The count for the Total Wireless Zones, Total Access Points and Total Clients are also displayed.

For more information about the access point, refer to SonicOS 8 Access Points Administration Guide.
