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.
