Getting Started

You must first determine the MAC address of the Wireless Client or the device name of the Wireless Client. One way to do this is to right-click on the Wireless Client while in the GUI and copy the MAC address. If for some reason you cannot copy the MAC address, you can click the question mark next to the Troubleshoot Device field to display hints on how to determine the MAC address or device name.
