10" Modero Touch Panels
Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names
Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP (Wireless Access Point)
Security Type (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol enabled
on the WAP
Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new WAPs found to the list. Every
scan cycle updates the signal strength field.
Access points are tracked by MAC Address.
If the WAP's SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field.
If the WAP's SSID is hidden (not broadcast) it will not show up on the site survey screen but it
can still be configured via the SSID field on the specified security mode screen.
If a WAP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row it is then removed from the
screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and see access points come and go as they
move in and out of range.
