First Spectrum Analysis Experiment
Now that you're familiar with the Chanalyzer Pro interface, let's go through a step-by-step example. To follow
along with this user guide, you will need a Wi-Spy 2.4x or a Wi-Spy DBx.
Plug in a Wi-Spy (Wi-Spy 2.4x or Wi-Spy DBx)
Launch Chanalyzer Pro software
Select Wireless Card
Select the built-in wireless card in the top right
corner to access additional WLAN information
about SSIDs, RSSI, MAC address and data rate.
*Wi-Spy is a spectrum analyzer. It is not capable
of reading at the Wi-Fi packet layer. Therefore
Wi-Spy will not appear in the Wi-Fi card drop-
down list.
Use the Wi-Fi Channels label on the Density
View
In the main menu select View > Wi-Fi Channels.
This will change the x-axis to display the Wi-Fi
channels instead of the frequencies.
Sort by RSSI
In the Details Pane, select Networks Table and
sort by RSSI by clicking the “RSSI” table header.
Add a check mark to networks with an RSSI value
above -85dBm.
Sort by columns in the Networks Table
Select Current, Utilization and Networks.
In the Density View click Current, Utilization and
Network buttons. User selections are indicated by
a darker shade of gray.
