Using the Site Survey Tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff out" all transmitting Access Points within the detection range of the internal wireless card (FIG. 22).
Once the
Site Survey
button is pressed, the device displays the
Site Survey
page, which contains the following categories:
Network Name (SSID)
- Access Point names
Channel
(RF) - Channel currently being used by the AP (
Access Point
)
Security
(if detectable - such as
WEP
,
OPEN
and
UNKNOWN
) - security protocol enabled on the AP
Signal
- displaying the individual APs’ signal level.
MAC Address
- Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
To access the Site Survey Tool:
1.
From the
Protected Setup
page, press the
Wireless Settings
button to open the
Wireless Settings
page.
2.
Press the
Site Survey
button. This action launches the
Wireless Site Survey
page, which displays a listing of all detected APs in
the communication range of the internal card.
The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new APs found to the list. Every scan cycle updates the
signal strength fields.
Access points are tracked by MAC Address.
If the AP’s SSID is set as a blank, then
N/A
is displayed within the
SSID
field.
If the AP’s SSID is not broadcast, it will not show up on the
Wireless Networks
screen.
If a AP 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 track access points as they move in and out of range.

it may be toggled up or down.
