Site Survey Tab

With this tab you can perform a Site Survey. You can see the available wireless net-

work(s) in range of your WLAN device and connect to one of them. If you double-click

on one of the available networks and the Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) was

already configured in a profile, the corresponding profile will be applied automatically.

If the BSSID was not yet con-

figured in a profile the “Add New

Profile” wizard is started.

> Rescan: Clicking this button,

it will initiate a Site Survey

and display the BSSID of

available networks.
