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.
In site survey mode, the BSAP continually beacons the SSID
“site_survey_chn#_pwr#” from its 802.11a and 802.11 b/g radios at a rate of
100 milliseconds. Here are the options to configure site survey mode:
1. Select Option “a” from the main menu to enter the site survey sub-menu.
2. Select the Interface (11b/g or 11a) to configure. All the radio settings that
are configured after this interface is setup will apply to the configured
interface.
3. Set Antenna Type (Doesn’t apply to the 1800).
4. Set Channel - channel to transmit the beacons.
5. Set Transmit Power - transmit power of the beacons – levels 0-10.
6. Enable Site Survey Mode – Once you setup the channel and transmit power,
the settings are applied once you enable it with this option.
7. Site Survey Summary – View your current site survey settings.
Rebooting the BSAP following a site survey, restores the BSAP’s existing
configuration.
