When setting up the NetScreen-5GT Wireless (ADSL) device as a wireless access point
(WAP), you can scan the broadcast vicinity to see if there are any other WAPs
broadcasting nearby. A site survey detects any WAPs emitting a beacon in its area and
records the following details about each detected WAP:
Service set identifier (SSID)
MAC address
Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) The RSSI numbers are in decibels (dBs) that
indicate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The SNR is the signal level divided by the noise
level, which results in a value representing signal strength.
Broadcast channel
In addition to performing an initial site survey, you might want to perform occasional
surveys to ensure that no rogue WAPs are operating in the area.
A site survey takes about 5-10 seconds to complete.

This topic includes information about how to configure network module, slot information
in security devices, and various physical interface modules that are supported by security
devices.
Some security device systems, such as the NetScreen–500, NetScreen 5000 line, and
ISG Series, contain physical slots in which you can install optional modules.
The NetScreen 5000 line running ScreenOS 6.1 or later supports three cards MGT3,
8G2-G4, and 2XGE-G4. These rods need to use M3A-Management_Module, which is a
special image for NetScreen 5000 line devices. Also, the ISG 1000 and ISG 2000 running
ScreenOS 6.1 or later support a new 10Gb interface slot that large enterprise and service
provider customers require.
