Pressing the Simple or Enterprise buttons at the bottom of the Information/Configuration section open
an appropriate Wireless Security window for Simple Mode or Enterprise Mode. Simple Mode is best
used for smaller installations that use a single Master, such as for residences or smaller office
environments. Enterprise Mode is intended for installations that use multiple Masters, where a wireless
device may need to switch between multiple wireless access points connected to different Masters in a
network.

Site Survey: Launches the Site Survey page. The options on this page allow you to detect
(“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of the panel’s NXA-
WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card (this feature is not available with the 802.11b).
Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:
- Network Name (SSID ) - WAP names
- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP
- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable
- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22 for more detailed
information on the SIte Survey page.
When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address ( BSSID )
of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G
Instruction Manual for more information.

Enterprise options.
• Security Type - Displays whether the currently used security type is Simple

• SSID - Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
• Channel - The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read-only).
• Signal Level Value - Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to
the Wireless Access Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time
(
None , Poor , Fair , Good , Very Good , and Excellent ).Even when link quality is
at its lowest you still have a connection, and the ability to transmit and receive
data, even if at lower speeds.
Note: “Signal Level Value” and “Signal Level” are applicable to RF connections
only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to
communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
• Signal Level - This bar graph demonstrates the strength of the current signal.
