Editing Setup Properties Select Settings in the Edit menu to access the Setup, Meter Settings, Sounds, and Logging tabs. Use these dialog boxes to change default settings for the current site survey workspace.

Setup Property Page

Select the Setup tab to change the following default site survey workspace information:

Edit Note on Error. Activate Edit Note on Error to display a pop-up dialog box for entering notes when an error condition is detected during the site survey ping test. Undocumented physical barriers (metal or block walls) could exist that the surveyor can describe as a possible reason for signal deflection and test failure. The reason for the error is automatically created as part of the note.

Override All Test ICMP Host Addresses. Check this box to use the ICMP host address entered on this page for all tests. Checking this box does not replace the host address saved for each test

Meter Settings Property Page

Select the Meter Settings property page to set bounds (thresholds) for the signal quality gradient bars in the Round Trip, Missed Beacon, and Transmit Retry fields. The circular RTT Avg, Missed %, and Retry % indicators on the Site Survey Test dialog box show green if the average of the previous tests (20 tests for RTT Avg, 40 tests for Retry %, and 20 tests for Missed %) is below the lower threshold.

The circular indicators on the Site Survey Test dialog box show red if the average of the previous 30 tests is above the upper threshold. Test results between the bounds set on the Meter Settings property page result in Yellow displays on the circular indictors on the Site Survey Test dialog box.

Sounds Property Page

Select the Sounds property page to change the following default site survey workspace information:

Play on Timeout. Select Play on Timeout to emit an audible timeout tone every time a ping test timeout is reached.

Play on Roam. Select Play on Roam to emit an audible roaming tone every time an wireless client roams between APs.

Play on Threshold. Select Play on Threshold to emit an audible threshold tone every time the threshold time is met or exceeded.

Play on Test Complete. Select Play on Test Complete to emit an audible test complete tone every time a suite of ping tests has been transmitted.

The default for the Sounds property page is all sounds enabled. Set the volume level and/or sound by using the Windows Control Panel Volume and Sounds applet or the Sounds task tray applet.
