Diagnostic Tools
Run Site Survey , Diagnostics Mode and Syslog Mode are three diagnostic
tools provided to assist the WLAN administrator in evaluating the
functioning of the handset and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic
tools are enabled in the Admin menu.
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.
