ZyXEL NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

Click ROGUE AP > Configuration. The following screen appears.

Figure 99   ROGUE AP > Configuration

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

The friendly AP list displays details of all the access points in your area that you know are not 
a threat. If you have more than one AP in your network, you need to configure this list to 
include your other APs. If your wireless network overlaps with that of a neighbor (for 
example) you should also add these APs to the list, as they do not compromise your own 
network’s security. If you do not add them to the friendly AP list, these access points will 
appear in the Rogue AP list each time the ZyXEL Device scans.
