You may also use the Broadcast Site Survey and Directed Site Survey to determine the
strength of a wireless connection in building to building applications. Run the Broadcast
Site Survey tool from one of the Access Points to confirm that the other Access Point is
within communication range. Then run the Directed Site Survey to determine the packet
per second rate between the two Access Points. Change the position of one of the
antennas and run the Directed Site Survey again. Using this method, you can experi-
ment with the position and location of each antenna to determine the optimum placement
that results in the highest packet per second rate.
The Master Search Tool searches for Master units within range of the RangeLAN2 Access
Point, when it is configured as a Station. After running, a directed site survey is immediately
launched. The Master Search Tool prompts for both length of time to run the tool and
length of time to run the site survey.
The Master Search Tool displays the MAC address, Master Name, Channel, and
Subchannel of all Masters it finds. The site survey displays the Kbytes/sec and RSSI
values between the RangeLAN2 Access Point and the Master.
