Using the BSAP’s Site Survey Mode
The BSAP provides a site survey mode that is useful when you are conducting a
site survey to determine optimal RF coverage for your facility.
Use option a) from the CLI main menu to toggle the BSAP’s half-power site survey
mode on and off. In half power site survey mode, the BSAP continually beacons
the SSID “Bluesocket_Half_Site_Survey_A” from its 802.11 a radio and the SSID
“Bluesocket_Half_Site_Survey_B” from its 802.11 b/g radio operating at half
power at a rate of 100 milliseconds.
Use option b) from the CLI main menu to toggle the BSAP’s full-power site survey
mode on and off. In full power site survey mode, the BSAP continually beacons
the SSID “Bluesocket_Full_Site_Survey_A” from its 802.11 a radio and the SSID
“Bluesocket_Full_Site_Survey_B” from its 802.11 b/g radio operating at full
power at a rate of 100 milliseconds.
Rebooting the BSAP following a site survey, restores the BSAP’s existing
configuration.
In general, follow these high-level steps when using the BSAP’s site survey mode:
1. Place the BSAPs in your facility into site survey mode.
