Scanning Mode
Scanning Mode provides two Wi-Fi data
collection methods:
1. Current Scan is the default and preferred
way to perform a survey. It allows
immediate data collection based on the
most recent Access Point beacon seen from
each BSSID. Beacons are aged-out after 30
seconds.
2. Scan Once is a more precise and time-
consuming mode. When a point is selected,
all the BSSID information is cleared, and a
single scan of the selected channels for the
selected dwell time is acquired. This is an
exact measurement but in congested envir-
onments beacons not seen during the dwell
time are not included in that sample point.
3. Connected is the active scanning mode.
Data is collected from the linked con-
nection of the Wi-Fi Test port.
To set the AirMapper scanning mode, select
Scanning Mode from AirMapper Settings screen.
