13. Site Survey Tool
The RangeLAN802 Access Point has a site survey tool to determine proper placement of
radios and antennas.
A network administrator might want to use this tool when diagnosing user performance
problems. A network installer might use it to aid in determining placement of the Access
Point and wireless client antennas.
The site survey tool is accessible from the Radio Diagnostics Menu. The site survey tool
shows the MAC addresses, Link Quality, and RSSI of each node that the
RangeLAN802 Access Point can find wirelessly.
To perform a site survey, first choose the Run Broadcast Site Survey option and let the
RangeLAN802 Access Point sit for a period of time that you specify. Then look at the
list of MAC addresses found, Link Quality, and RSSI data. The results will show an
average value for each parameter over the time period for which the site survey was run.
If you check the data before the full time has elapsed, you will see values that are an
average of the time thus far elapsed. A sample Broadcast Site Survey is shown in Figure
9 below.
