The Radio Link Module names you assign to a spotted MAC address will be
saved into an ASCII file that you can use to:

Share the file with other LAN Administrators that use the CP 1515 Manager
tool to monitor performance of the wireless network. This file (“APlist.txt”) is
stored in:

C:\Programs\Siemens I-Gate\Clientmanager

Edit the names later on, using an ASCII editor, such as the MS-Windows
Notepad.

Both link test and site monitor enable you to log measurement results. The
measurement data can be logged manually or at regular intervals
automatically.

The CP 1515 Manager saves the data to a Comma Separated Value (*.csv)
file that can be imported into standard spreadsheet or database applications
for further analysis.

Comparison of measurement data with previous measurements may help
you investigate the performance of your wireless LAN over a period of time,
for example, to analyze the consequences of relocated network equipment.

Both the Link Test window and the Site Monitor window have almost the
same log settings parameters. The only difference is that the Link Test
window supports continuous data logging, which the Site Monitor window
does not support.
