Blocking a Wireless Client

Whenever a wireless device is associated to a managed AP, the client device is recorded and tracked. If, for any reason, you need to block a client device from accessing the network, you can do so from the web interface.
You might consider blocking a wireless client device for the following reasons:
  • Network abuse
  • Violation of acceptable use policy
  • Theft
  • Security compromise

To block a wireless client from accessing the SmartZone network, complete the following steps.

  1. From the dashboard, click Monitor > Clients > Wireless Clients.
    The Wireless Clients tab is displayed.
  2. Locate the client that you want to block.
    If you have a large number of wireless clients, and you know the MAC address of the client, enter the MAC address in the search field. Press Enter to search for the client.
  3. Select the client and click the Block button.
