RF Monitoring

Radio Frequency (RF) technology used in today’s 802.11-based wireless networking devices poses an attractive target for intruders. If left unmanaged, RF devices can leave your wireless (and wired) network open to a variety of outside threats, from Denial of Service (DoS) to network security breaches. To help secure your SonicWall wireless access points, SonicWall helps detect threats without interrupting the current operation of your wireless or wired network.

SonicOS RF Monitoring provides real-time threat monitoring and management of SonicPoint radio frequency traffic. In addition to its real-time threat monitoring capabilities, SonicOS RF monitoring provides a system for centralized collection of RF threats and traffic statistics that offer a way to easily manage RF capabilities directly from the SonicWall security appliance gateway.

The DEVICE | Access Points > RF Monitoring page provides a central location for selecting RF signature types, viewing discovered RF threat stations, and adding discovered threat stations to a watch list.
