Survey - Site Survey Tab

Use the Site Survey tab to view statistics on the wireless networks available to the A111 Card. The Site Survey tab is read-only with no user configurable data fields. Use the Site Survey tab to view the following network parameters.

•BSSID – The IEEE MAC addresses of the available networks.

•SSID – The SSID (service set identification) within available networks.

•CH – The direct-sequence channel used by each network.

•RSSI – The Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) in dB.

•Encryption – Wireless network WEP encryption information, the value is either OFF (encryption disabled) or ON (encryption enabled).

Some Access Points can disable broadcast- ing SSID to hide them- selves from “Site Sur- vey” or “Site Monitor” for added security but still allow you to join if you know their SSID.
