Generating an AP Scan Log File

Note

Note

To enter the current contents of the AP scan list into a log file that can be saved to your computer’s hard drive, click Log Snapshot. The “Logged current AP Scan List” message appears below the scan list, and the log file is saved as a text file in the same directory as the site survey utility. The default location is C:\Program Files\Cisco Aironet (unless you specified a different location during installation).

If the AP scan list is paused when you click Log Snapshot, the currently displayed data (not the latest available data) is added to the log.

Each time you click Log Snapshot, the new scan list is written at the end of the existing log file.

To view the log file, find and open the file (SST_APScanLog.txt) using Windows Explorer. The log file appears (see Figure F-7).

Note The log file can be viewed by a spreadsheet or database program (such as Microsoft Excel). It is written in comma-separated values (CSV) format. Therefore, if the file is renamed with a .csv extension, Microsoft Excel would automatically place the values in separate columns.
