Channel Selection:	Pressing this button presents a popup that gives the user the option, in high-
	interference areas, of excluding three channel groups in order to find the best
	possible connection.
	• Channel 1 includes channels 1, 2, and 3.
	• Channel 6 includes channels 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
	• Channel 11 includes channels 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
	The default on the popup allows scanning on all three channel groups. Click
	the checkmark to exclude each channel group: any excluded channel group will
	be marked with a red "X".
Information:	Pressing this button opens a popup that explains the particular functions of the
	Roaming and Channel Selection buttons.
Site Survey:	Launches the Site Survey page. The options on this page allow you to detect
	(“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of the panel’s NXA-
	WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card (this feature is not available with the 802.11b).
	Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:
	- Network Name (SSID) - WAP names
	- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP
	- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable
	- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
	- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
	• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22 for more detailed
	information on the SIte Survey page.
	When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address (BSSID)
	of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G
	Instruction Manual for more information.

Information/Configuration: • Mode - Displays the current Security Type selected via either the Simple or Enterprise options.

	• Security Type - Displays whether the currently used security type is Simple
	or Enterprise.
	• SSID - Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
	• Channel - The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read-
	only).
	• Signal Level Value - Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to
	the Wireless Access Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time
	(None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent).Even when link quality is
	at its lowest you still have a connection, and the ability to transmit and
	receive data, even if at lower speeds.
	Note: “Signal Level Value” and “Signal Level” are applicable to RF connections
	only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to
	communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
	• Signal Level - This bar graph demonstrates the strength of the current
	signal.
Simple/Enterprise:	• Opens either the Wireless Security: Simple Mode or the Wireless Security:
	Enterprise Mode windows.

Pressing the Simple or Enterprise buttons at the bottom of the Information/Configuration section open an appropriate Wireless Security window for Simple Mode (FIG. 55) or Enterprise Mode (FIG. 56). Simple Mode is best used for smaller installations that use a single Master, such as for residences or smaller office environments. Enterprise Mode is intended for installations that use multiple Masters, where a wireless device may need to switch between multiple wireless access points connected to different Masters in a network.
