Manual Version 1.0
When roaming throughout a wireless network environment with your Client
Manager station, you will be able to identify areas that may not have adequate
coverage, or that suffer from in-band interference from other (wireless)
equipment such as security gates, microwave ovens or photo copiers.
To start the site monitor, select
Site Monitor in the Advanced menu in the main
Client Manager window. This will display the window pictured in Figure 5-15.
Options in the Site Monitor Window
! Site Monitor tab - the primary tab to monitor the performance of your
wireless network (see Site Monitor Tab on page 5-10).
! Selection tab - enables you to scan for neighboring networks and select
such networks for monitoring (see Selection Tab on page 5-12).
! Log Settings tab - allows you to enable, disable or configure the site
monitor logging options (see Logging Measurement Data on page 5-15).
! AP names tab - allows you to create user-defined Base Station names for
easy identification of Base Stations in the Site Monitor window (see AP
Names Tab on page 5-14).

When you open the Site Monitor window, this will display the window pictured

NOTE:
The Site Monitor option only works in combination with Base Stations. When you select this
option in a Peer-to-Peer workgroup environment (Independent networks never include
Base Stations), the Site Monitor window will not start with the Site Monitor tab but will start
with the Selection tab described in Selection Tab on page 5-12.
