Site Monitor
You can use the Site Monitor to display the communications quality of your computer with
multiple Base Station devices in its vicinity. The Site Monitor allows you to conduct a site
survey to:
? Determine the overall wireless coverage of your LAN network.
? Optimize placement of your Base Station devices, to provide seamless connectivity to
mobile stations.
? Roam throughout the 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 interference by other (wireless) equipment such as microwave ovens or photo
copiers.
To use the Site Monitor:
1. Launch the Site Monitor by selecting Advanced > Site Monitor from the Wireless
Client Manager main window. The Site Monitor tab is displayed first.
2. To monitor other Infrastructure networks, click the Selection tab and select a desired
Infrastructure from the Observed networks list. Then click the Scan Now button to start
the scan process. This will open the Site Monitor tab.
Note: The Observed networks list will only display “open” Base Stations.
