will cause the handset to stop operating if an error message is
received. Error detail may be shown on the display, captured by the
syslog server, and may also be available for downloading with the
Handset Administration Tool. Unless the error is a fatal one, normal
operation may be resumed by power-cycling the handset.
Site survey is used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying
that an installation is complete. It can also be used at any time to
evaluate coverage by testing signal strength, to gain information

SSID. The information available through the site survey includes:
• SSID
• Beacon Interval
• AP information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11h and other
802.11 amendment standards as required
