Using the Site Survey tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff-out" all transmitting Wireless Access Points within the detection range
of the internal NXA-WC80211GCF (this feature is not available with the 802.11b Wi-Fi card). Once
pressed, the panel displays the Site Survey page which contains categories such as:
 Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names
 Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP (Wireless Access Point)
 Security Type (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol
enabled on the WAP
 Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
 MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
1. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page.
2. Navigate to the Access Point MAC Address section of this page and press the on-screen
Site Survey button. This action launches the Site Survey page which displays a listing of all
detected WAPs in the communication range of the internal card.
 The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new WAPs found to the list.
Every scan cycle updates the signal strength field.
Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned
to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel
continues.
