—dB is the signal strength of the AP
—Ch is the channel of the AP
—1b2b5b11b is an example of the data rate that may be displayed
Walk around the site to determine supported data rates, one AP at a time. In any location, use the right arrow key to display the second best AP. Use the right arrow key again to display the third best, and then the fourth best. The left arrow key returns the display back to the first best AP.
Each data rate (1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbit/s) supported by the AP is shown. The rates that are in the Basic Rate set (sometimes referred to as “required” rates) are indicated by a ‘b’ following the rate number. The Supported and Basic data rates should be the same on all APs and as is appropriate for the site.
Note: The wireless handset remains in Site Survey mode until it is powered off.
3When testing is complete, press Power Off/End Call to power off the wireless handset.
Note: Numbers racing across the wireless handset display indicate AP information is being obtained. A Waiting message indicates the system is not configured properly and the wireless handset cannot find any APs.
