Converting a Rogue into a Third Party AP
Detecting Rogue Devices
If a device in the alarm list belongs to a third-party AP in your network, you can convert the rogue into
a third-party AP. When you convert a rogue into a third-party AP, the rogue disappears from the alarm
list, and allows you to place the AP in your network plan.
Converting a rogue into a third-party AP applies only to the network plan. RingMaster does not send
this information in any form to the MXs in the network. To prevent MSS from issuing countermeasures
against a third-party AP, you must also add the AP to the Ignore list. RingMaster does send the Ignore
list to the MXs in the network.
To convert a rogue into a third-party AP:
1. In the Alarm screen rogues list, select the device you want to convert to a third-party AP.
2. Click Create Third Party AP in the Tasks panel. The Third Party AP Properties dialog is
displayed.
3. Enter the information for the AP and place the icon for the AP in the floor location, if applicable.
(See “Placing Third-Party Access Points” on page 105.) When you have finished, the AP
appears under Objects to Place in RF Planning.
4. To display the list, select the Configuration option in RingMaster Navigation Bar and click on
Third Party APs in the Organizer panel. Third-party APs are listed in the Content panel.
To remove a third-party AP:
1. Select the Configuration button on the RingMaster Navigation Bar and click on Third Party
APs in the Organizer panel. Third-party APs are listed in the Content panel.
2. Select the third-party AP you want to remove and click the Delete button. The address is
removed from the third-party AP list. If a device is detected by rogue detection, it appears in
the rogue list. Set the display filter of the Rogue Detection screen to Current and click the
Refresh option on the toolbar.
Adding Clients Belonging to a Rogue to the Black List
The Client Black List is a list of MAC addresses belonging to wireless clients not allowed on the
network. MSS prevents clients on the list from accessing the network through an MX.
1. In the Alarm screen, select the client to place on the Black List.
2. Click Add to Black List on the toolbar. The Select Devices dialog is displayed.
3. Select the clients you want to add to the Black List. The Select Devices dialog is displayed.
