Survey - Site Survey

Use the Site Survey tab to view statistics

on the wireless networks available to the

WLAN Card. Use the Site Survey tab to

view the following network parameters.

•

SSID:

The SSID of the available

networks.

•

Channel:

The channel used by

each network.

•

RSSI:

The Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) transmitted by

each network. This information is helpful in determining which network to

associate to. The value is then normalized to a dBm value.

•

Encryption:

Wireless network encryption information. All devices in

the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the

communication.

•

BSSID:

The media access control (MAC) address of the access point or

the Basic Service Set ID of the Ad Hoc node.

NOTE: Some access points may disable SSID broadcast and hide

themselves from “Site Survey” or “Site Monitor”, however, you can

connect such AP if you know their SSID.
