Diagnostic Tools
Run Site Survey, Diagnostics Mode and Syslog Mode are three diagnostic tools provided to assist the WLAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the handset and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic tools are enabled in the Admin menu.
Site Survey
Site survey can be used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying that an installation is complete. It can also be used at any time to evaluate coverage by testing signal strength, to gain information about an AP, and to scan an area to look for all APs regardless of ESSID. The information available through the site survey includes:
•ESSID
•Beacon Interval
•Information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11h, and other 802.11 amendment standards as required.
•Current security configuration
Start the site survey by selecting Run Site Survey from the Admin menu.
The mode starts immediately.
When the site survey is started, it is by default in “single ESSID” mode. When the Any softkey is pressed (softkey A), all APs regardless of ESSID are displayed, and the softkey changes to say MyID. Pressing the MyID softkey will revert to the “single ESSID” mode and change the softkey back to Any.
