Using the Site Survey tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff-out" all transmitting Wireless Access Points within the detection range of the internal
NXA-WC80211GCF. Once pressed, the panel displays the Site Survey page which contains categories such as:
Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names
Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP (Wireless Acce ss Poin t)
Security Type (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol enabled on the
WAP
Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page.
2. Navigate to the Access Point MAC Address section of this page and press the on-screen
Site Survey button. This action launches the Site Survey page which displays a listing of all detected WAPs in the
communication range of the internal card.
The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new WAPs found to the list. Every scan cycle
updates the signal strength field.
Access points are tracked by MAC Address.
If the WAP’s SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field.
If the WAP’s SSID is hidden (not broadcast) it will not show up on the site survey screen but it can still be
configured via the SSID field on the specified security mode screen.
