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. 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
This information can be found in either the Workspace - System name > Define
Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the
Device Addressing/Network Addresses section of the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics
dialog.
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.
