Site Survey
Site survey can be 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 ESSID. The information available through the site 
survey includes: 
•
ESSID
•
Beacon Interval
•
Information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11g, 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 site survey is started, it is by default in “single ESSID” 
mode. When the 
Any
softkey is pressed (softkey A), all APs regardless
of ESSID are displayed, and the softkey changes to say
MyID
. Pressing
the
MyID
softkey will revert to the “single ESSID” mode and change
the softkey back to
Any
.
The display has the following layout for “single ESSID” mode.
