In addition to providing different status views for Access Point and Wireless Bridge modes, two new
functions have been added to the Wireless > Status page:
Hyperlinked WLAN Settings - All configurable WLAN settings are now hyperlinked to their
respective pages for configuration. (Present in both Access Point and Wireless Bridge modes).
Enabled features are displayed in green, and disabled features are displayed in red.
Automated Station Blocking - Previously, the Station Status view allowed for stations to be added
to the MAC allow list, or disassociated from the TZ 50 Wireless/TZ 150 Wireless/TZ 170 Wireless.
The disassociated station, however, could easily re-associate unless other prohibitive actions were
taken. This functionality has been enhanced by adding the Block icon. Clicking this icon
disassociates the station and adds the station to the MAC block list.To begin configuring advanced
features on the TZ 50 Wireless/TZ 150 Wireless/TZ 170 Wireless, log into the management interface,
and click Wireless. The Status page is displayed and contains information relating to the WLAN
connection.
