Using the BayStack 650 Wireless LAN Access Point
You should do an initial site survey and evaluate the results with the Site Survey
utility. The Site Survey utility:
•
Reports link quality between the laptop computer and the access point
•
Verifies wireless link quality and helps you make adjustments to minimize
interference due to building structure (materials) or other radio devices
•
Allows a laptop computer to roam and select access points with the best
performance
•
Monitors link quality, utilization, and connection quality during normal
operation
•
Provides a list of access points within range that are set to the same SSID
The PC card must be installed on your laptop computer before you perform a site
survey. The access point does not have to be connected to a wired network.
To perform a site survey, make a list of key locations within a BSA, record the
link quality at each one, and then save the survey in a file. Repeat this process for
each BSA surveyed. Later, open the file in Site Survey or with a spreadsheet.
Or print the survey using the Site Survey utility.
