Properties

The CIM_WiFiEndpoint class has these properties.

AccessPointAddress

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The MAC address of the access point that is associated with the Wi-Fi endpoint; otherwise, NULL.

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

true if the WiFi endpoint is currently associated with an access point or client station; otherwise, false.

AuthenticationMethod

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("IEEE 802.11-2007 | 8"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.EncryptionMethod", "CIM_WiFiEndpoint.IEEE8021xAuthenticationProtocol", "CIM_WiFiEndpoint.OtherAuthenticationMethod")

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.AuthenticationMethod")

The authentication type used between the Wi-Fi endpoint and the network when AuthenticationMethod contains "1" (Other).

OtherEncryptionMethod

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.EncryptionMethod")

Describes the encryption type for the Wi-Fi endpoint when EncryptionMethod contains "1" (Other).
