Diagnostic Tools
Run Site Survey, Diagnostics Enabled and Syslog Mode are three diagnostic tools
provided to assist the wireless LAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the
Avaya 3641/3645 Wireless IP Telephone and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic Tools
are enabled in the Admin menu.
The
Halt on Error
option in the Admin menu is a diagnostic tool that will cause the handset
to stop operating if an error message is received. Error detail may be shown on the display,
captured by the syslog server, and may also be available for downloading with the Handset
Administration Tool. Unless the error is a fatal one, normal operation may be resumed by
power-cycling the handset.

Run Site Survey
Site survey is used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying that an installation is
complete. It can also be used at any time to evaluate coverage by testing signal strength,
to gain information about an AP, and to scan an area to look for all APs regardless of
SSID. The information available through site survey includes:
•
SSID
•
Beacon Interval
•
AP information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11h, and other 802.11
amendment standards as required.
•
Current security configuration
START the site survey by selecting
Run Site Survey
from the Admin menu. The mode starts
immediately.
When the test is started, it is by default in “single SSID” mode. When the
Any
soft key is
pressed (softkey A) all APs, regardless of SSID, are displayed and the softkey changes to
say
MyID
. Pressing the
MyID
soft key will revert the display to the “single SSID” mode and
change the softkey back to
Any.
The display would look like the following for the single AP mode.
1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4
1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4
1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4
