 are three diagnostic tools provided 

to assist the WLAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the NetLink 
Wireless Telephone and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic Tools are enabled in 
the Admin menu. 

9.1  Run Site Survey 

Site Survey is used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying that an 
installation is complete. It can also be used at any time to evaluate coverage by 
testing signal strength, to gain information about an AP, and to scan an area to look 
for all APs regardless of ESSID. The information available through site survey 
includes: 

•  ESSID 
•  Beacon Interval 
•  Information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11h, and other 802.11 

amendment standards as required. 

•  Current security configuration 

Start the site survey by selecting 

Run Site Survey

 from the Admin menu. The mode 

starts immediately. 
When the test is started, it is by default in “single ESSID” mode.  When the 

Any

 soft 

key is pressed (softkey A), all APs, regardless of ESSID are displayed, and the 
softkey changes to say 

MyID

.  Pressing the 

MyID

 soft key will revert to the “single 

ESSID” mode and change the softkey back to 

Any

. 

The display would look like the following for the multiple AP mode.

Where: 

•  111111 = The last three octets of the on-air MAC address for a discovered AP. 
•  22 = The signal strength for the specified AP. 

•  33 = The channel number of the specified AP. 
•  444 = The beacon interval configured on the specified AP. 
•  Any/MyID = Softkey to toggle between “single ESSID” and “any ESSID” 

mode.  

•  Detl/Smry = Softkey to toggle between the multiple AP (summary) display, and 

the single (detail) displays for each AP. 

The following screen shows how the display would look when there are three APs 
configured with an ESSID that matches that of the handset.  The first has a signal 
strength of –28dbm, is configured on channel 2, with a beacon interval of 100ms.  
The second has a signal strength of –48dbm, is configured on channel 6, with a
