Performing a Site Survey

Site Survey is a powerful tool and should be utilized to ensure your USR5430 associates to your wireless network. Performing a Site Survey scans for all wireless routers and access points within range and displays the SSID (the network names) of each. If you are not associating to your wireless network or if you are not associating to any wireless network, performing a Site Sur- vey should be your first course of action. To perform a site survey, follow the steps below:

1.Access the Web User Interface. It is important to verify the status of your USR5430 before performing a Site Survey. To do so, select the Status tab as demonstrated below:

The network you are associated to will display its SSID name. The MAC address will display the MAC address of the wireless router or access point. If the SSID name and the MAC address match those of your wireless router or access point, you are successfully associ- ated to your wireless network. If the SSID and MAC address to do not match your wireless router or access point, or if you see a “Device is not associated” message, proceed to Step 2.
