Site Survey

This page allows you to search for
available wireless networks near your
device. Tap the Search button to scan all
available wireless networks and display
the results on your screen.

ESSID

This column shows the Extended Service
Set Indenfier (ESSID) of the wireless
network found in the search.

BSSID

This column shows the Media Access
Control (MAC) address of the access point, or the Basic Service Set ID
(BSSID) in an ad-hoc mode.

CH

This column shows the channel used by the wireless device.

Signal

This column shows the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
transmitted by each wireless network. This information is helpful in
determining which network you wish to associate your device. This signal
is normally represented by a dBm value.

To associate with one of the detected wireless networks:

1. Tap-and-hold on a wireless network entry, then tap Connect on the

pop-up menu.

NOTE

Another way to connect is by tapping twice on the entry.

2. If the wireless network that you selected is on the profile, your device

will try to connect to the wireless network automatically without asking
you for additional information. Otherwise, input the required
information.

3. After you have entered the required information, tap OK. The wireless

network is then added to the profile, and your device will try to connect
to it.
