FIG. 16 Site Survey page

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.

If a WAP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row it is then removed from the screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and see access points come and go as they move in and out of range.

3.Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name and toggling the direction of the adjacent arrow.

Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Ascending order.

SSID (A to Z), Channel (1 to 14), Security (Unknown to WEP), Signal (None to Excellent). The firmware considers the following to be the security order from least secure to most secure: Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and Unknown.

Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Descending order.

SSID (Z to A), Channel (11 to 6), Security (WEP to Unknown), Signal (Excellent

to None)

If the panel detects more than 10 WAPs, the Up/Down arrows at the far right side of the page become active (blue) and allow the user to scroll through the list of entries.
