Run Site Survey

Site survey is used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying
that an installation is complete. It can also be used at any time to
evaluate coverage by testing signal strength, to gain information
about an AP, and to scan an area to look for all APs regardless of
SSID. The information available through the site survey includes:

SSID

Beacon Interval

AP information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11h and other
802.11 amendment standards as required

• Current security configuration

Start the site survey by selecting

Run Site Survey

from the

Admin

menu.

The mode starts immediately.

When the test is started, it is by default in “single SSID” mode. When
the

Any

soft key is pressed (softkey A) all APs, regardless of SSID, are

displayed and the softkey changes to say

MyID

. Pressing the

MyID

soft

key will revert to the “single SSID” mode and change the softkey back
to

Any

.

The display would look like the following for the multiple AP mode.
