Chapter 3: Measurement Surveys - Extreme Networks Summit WMScanner User Manual

3 Measurement Surveys
Summit WMScanner eliminates the hassles involved in collecting data acquisition by implementing a
point-and-click method of acquiring measurement data from your PC's wireless LAN (WLAN) card.
The following workflow diagram provides an overview of the primary measurement survey steps for
recording measurements and visualizing the results.
Summit WMScanner provides two site-specific means of recording measurement information:
RF Monitoring - Using a proprietary WLAN driver, Summit WMScanner automatically collects data
●
from all visible APs. For this process to function, the WLAN card must not be associated with an
access point.
AP Performance - This mode is used to determine the performance of a specific access point within
●
the drawing.
Summit WMScanner requires a working WLAN card for recording measurement data.
