Hi Wayland,
 
If you are referring to the Client Info Tab in simpleMonitor, it would not be an accurate way of telling whether a client is dropped or not, as the refresh rate might not be slow enough to capture the refresh result and momentarily it may show that the device is not associated. It would be better to do a ping to the client device to see if the it is still accessible and manageable.
 
Similarly in simpleNMS, the snmpget may show some devices in the red, but actually it may not be the case, unless it is reflected for a long period of time, say 3 to 5 minutes. Again, just to confirm the devices actual state, a ping test would be most suitable.
 
 
Best regards,

Interesting, but most of these stayed dropped until the reset of airPoint.

In my case I was watching CPEs dissassociate for real. It happened twice where I got kicked off myself. This time I closed simpleNMS before it was too late. Then I was able to observe in airPoint simpleMonitor that they really had dissasociated, please re-read my post.
 
this was *real*

Yes, I've seen this also.  It scared the p**p out of me the first few times, but I've since realized that it is just an artifact...nothing real.  The CPEs don't seem to actually be disassociating.  It seems simpleNMS just thinks they are.

I quickly closed simpleNMS before I too was disconnected.
I opened simpleMonitor for airPoint and looked at the associated clients,
half were still connected and about 3 kept apearing and disapearing. I hit
the reset button on simpleMonitor and all came back OK. Would this be a
fault in simpleNMS or in my airPoint or in my PC?

Has anyone seen this?
