The list includes the MAC and IP addresses and configuration information for each 
AP. The first AP on the list provides the information. The AP recognizes other APs 
listed in subsequent lines. It sends a broadcast message to other APs every 12 
seconds to establish communication and refresh this list.

Select Show Known APs from the Main Menu to display the Known Access Points 
window and to review information about the APs.
