Diagnostic Tools
Run Site Survey, Diagnostics Enabled and Syslog Mode are three diagnostic tools provided to assist the wireless LAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephone and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic Tools are enabled in the Admin menu.
Run Site Survey
Site survey is 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 SSID. The information available through the site survey includes:
•SSID
•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 test is started, it is by default in “single SSID” mode. When the Any soft key is pressed (softkey A) all APs, regardless of SSID, are displayed and the softkey changes to say MyID. Pressing the MyID soft key will revert to the “single SSID” mode and change the softkey back to Any.
The display would look like the following for the multiple AP mode.
