Troubleshooting WLAN IP Telephony installations

Run Site Survey for the Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset

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 SSID. The
information available through Site Survey includes:
• SSID
• beacon interval
• information regarding support of various protocols and standards, as required
• current security configuration
When Run Site Survey begins, it is in single SSID mode. Press the Any soft key to switch to
all APs (regardless of SSID) mode; the Any soft key changes to MyID. The display looks like
the following in multiple AP mode:
111111 -22 33
111111 -22 33
111111 -22 33
111111 -22 33
MyID
• 111111 = last three octets of the SSID for the discovered AP
• 22 = signal strength of the specified AP
• 33 = channel number of the specified AP
• 4444 = DTIM interval configured for the specified AP
• MyID = soft key to toggle between single and any SSID mode
• Detl = soft key to toggle between summary and detail screens
The following display shows three APs configured with an SSID that matches that of the
handset. The first has a signal strength of –28dBm, and is configured on channel 2 with a
beacon interval of 100 ms. The second has a signal strength of –48dBm, and is configured on
channel 6 with a beacon interval of 200 ms. The third has a signal strength of –56dBm and is
configured on channel 11 with a beacon interval of 100 ms.

Any
When you select Any SSID mode, the summary display contains the first six characters of the
APs SSID instead of the beacon interval, as shown in the following example.
