Using the Site Survey Tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff out" all transmitting Access Points within the detection range of the internal wireless card (FIG. 22).
Once the Site Survey button is pressed, the device displays the Site Survey page, which contains the following categories:
Network Name (SSID) - Access Point names
Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the AP (Access Point)
Security (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol enabled on the AP
Signal - displaying the individual APs’ signal level.
MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
To access the Site Survey Tool:
1. From the Protected Setup page, press the Wireless Settings button to open the Wireless Settings page.
2. Press the Site Survey button. This action launches the Wireless Site Survey page, which displays a listing of all detected APs in
the communication range of the internal card.
The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new APs found to the list. Every scan cycle updates the
signal strength fields.
Access points are tracked by MAC Address.
If the AP’s SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field.
If the AP’s SSID is not broadcast, it will not show up on the Wireless Networks screen.
If a AP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row, it is then removed from the screen. In this way, a user
can walk around a building and track access points as they move in and out of range.
3. Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name. This moves the sorting arrow to that column, where
it may be toggled up or down.
Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in an ascending order.
Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a descending order.
