Corrective Actions
100101
Internal error
The IAP has encountered an internal
error for this client.
Contact the Dell customer support team.
100102
Unknown SSID in
association request
The IAP cannot allow this client to
associate because the association
request received contains an unknown
SSID.
Identify the client and check its Wi-Fi
driver and manager software.
100103
Mismatched
authentication/encryption
setting
The IAP cannot allow this client to
associate because its authentication or
encryption settings do not match IAP's
configuration.
Ascertain the correct authentication or
encryption settings and try to associate
again.
100104
Unsupported 802.11 rate
The IAP cannot allow this client to
associate because it does not support
the 802.11 rate requested by this client.
Check the configuration on the IAP to
see if the desired rate can be supported;
if not, consider replacing the IAP with
another model that can support the rate.
100105
Maximum capacity
reached on IAP
The IAP has reached maximum capacity
and cannot accommodate any more
clients.
Consider expanding capacity by
installing additional IAPs or balance load
by relocating IAPs.
100206
Invalid MAC Address
The IAP cannot authenticate this client
because the client's MAC address is not
valid.
This condition may be indicative of a
misbehaving client. Try to locate the
client device and check its hardware
and software.
100307
Client blocked due to
repeated authentication
failures
The IAP is temporarily blocking the
802.1X authentication request from this
client because the credentials provided
have been rejected by the RADIUS
server too many times.
Identify the client and check its 802.1X
credentials.
