BSS Devices - Live Data

This screen displays the live data for all BSS devices identified by ExtremeLocation Essentials in the selected site.

BSS Devices are those devices within your monitored environment that broadcast BSS (Basic Service Set) identifiers that indicate they offer Wi-Fi connection to any device that may want to connect to it. BSSs with a managed environment can be authorized or unauthorized. Unauthorized BSSs are a security risk for the environment in which they are found; they need to be monitored, and the devices that connect to them need to be tracked.

Note

If a client's data is deleted in ExtremeCloud IQ, all configured, cached, Live, and Historical data related to that client is also deleted from ExtremeLocation Essentials.

Note

If Reset VIQ is selected in ExtremeCloud IQ, all configured data for locations, devices, and clients is cleared from ExtremeLocation Essentials. In addition, all cached, Live, and Historical data related to that VIQ is cleared from ExtremeLocation Essentials.
