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?

Sounds good. My Enterasys expirence started with 3600's so I don't the know the details with the older models. Interested in your results.

good to know about the 3700's I haven't attempted to put one in the survey kit yet. I'll poke around at some point and see if there are any options. Busybox is a collection of linux commands basically. It might be possible in the same way that we used to configure 2600's for surveys. I'll post results.

Always up for a challenge. I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Jon!

Hello Jon, I agree my solution is really unflexible in some situations, but its the only way to use the latest Enterasys APs. Changing some configuration parameters is now very difficult. In the past I've used the AP3630/40, but know think its time to switch to the AP3700 series for realistic post-deployment site surveys. Looks like I have to carry a V2110 installation on you survey laptop in the future 

Doing some reverse engineering I discovered (connected to the AP3715i with ssh) a customized Linux busybox shell, so maybe there could be hack to change the configuration parameters per command line.

Jon,

How do you trick a 3610 into being a 3630?
