If the access point does not broadcast a name, it has an asterisk in the column where the
BSSID is different from one virtual access point to another. To see the MAC addresses and
SSIDs for the virtual access points, select the access point in the Access Points list.
This setting is enabled by default.
•
Gray inaudible access points: If the tester has not heard an access point for four cycles
through all channels, the access point is gray in the Access Points list. This is the default
setting.
•
Delete inaudible access points: If the tester has not heard an access point for four cycles
through all channels, it deletes the access point from the Access Points list.
• Enable SSID filtering: Disabled by default. Allows for filtering of SSIDs in the Networks,
Access Points, and selected Channels views. When the option is selected, a pop-up
window will open and allow you to choose specific SSIDs. From now on, only the chosen
SSIDs will be displayed in the Networks, Access Points, and specific Channels (AP List and
Clients) views, any other discovered SSIDs will not be shown.
• Enable signal level filtering: Use the
L
press the button to set the new value. APs will not be listed when the signal level is less
than this setting.
• Use custom signal adjustments: Signal strength measurements from different models of
wireless testers or from clients used as a reference do not always agree with each other.
The differences are caused mainly by differences in the antennas. To make the devices
agree, you can add an offset to the AirCheck measurements in this screen.
