7.4.3 Scan List
This dialog box opens when Scan List is selected in the AP Dialogs menu.
The scan list is a list of all the radios that this particular radio "hears" on this
channel (via beacons) even if it is not linked to it (different SSID or encryption).
This list shows the same information as the Available Parents list in the Radio
Configuration / Diagnostic Utility.
List entries marked with a "*" indicate the entry is an alternate path, which can
also be seen if the ‘parents' button is selected in the menu bar (blue lines will link
the radio to its alternate parents).
802.11 Access Point Detector
The RLX2 radio can be used as an installation tool to analyze the 802.11
environment and provide the user with information on choosing antenna location
and channel selection.
By using the table in the radio, mounting an RLX2 radio with its actual antenna
and use it to report information on every active 802.11 radio in the area can be
done. It will report:
 Each 802.11 AP heard including SSID
 Actual RSSI from each given in dBm
 Channel of each radio
Use this information to help choose a channel that is least utilized, or to select
appropriate antenna types and alignments to minimize interference.
