Site Survey Question

[Jim_Seaman]

I'd like to do my own site survey. I have a device that reads the db signal. However, I don't want to plug and unplug an Enterasys AP to transmit signal all over the site. Any suggestions for a transmitter for this type of scenario?

Official Response for tracking:

Objective

• Site Survey Mode
• Wireless RF Survey

Environment
IdentiFi Wireless Access Points - All Models
Firmware All

Procedure

1. Attach the access point that will be used for survey mode.
2. Configure the access point with a demo VNS, WLAN-Service, Default Role Allow All.
3. Assign the Role to a Bridge at AP Topology untagged.
4. Set both radios to a desired channel and max power.
5. In the AP properties enable (with check mark) Maintain client sessions in the event of a poll failure and restart service in the absence of a controller.
6. Confirm the access point has the configuration and the SSID's are advertising out in the air.
7. Power down the access point and bring it to the desired location for the survey, power the unit up (single PoE injector).

The access point will advertise out the last known good configuration it had before the power down. This should allow someone to use the access point to take survey readings. If any changes are needed, the access point should be booted back up where it can access the controller again to pull down any new changes.

Ron, when you get to 5000 points, I'll do what I can to get you a tshirt.

Remember: it would be a purple coloured t-shirt. Better you should get the original wifi detector t-shirt i wear sometimes for fun during site survey. They could custumize the backsize with "Extreme Community Champion" 😉
