- The strength of the RF signal it is receiving f
rom the AP,
expressed in dBm
- The channel the associated AP is using
- The power save mode where “P” denotes Power Save mode
and
“A” denotes Active m
ode.
Current AP MAC: The MAC address of the AP, that is, its BSSID.
Previous AP: If the user has been roaming while the RSSI screen is active,
t
he
handset displays the following information about the previous
AP that the handset was associated with:

Scan All Channels
Scans the channels defined in the handset to dete
ct t
he access points, by default for 2.4
GHz: Channel 1,6,11 and for 5 GHz: All channels.
Note: Regulatory domain may further limit which channels th
at are used by the handset.
Scan Selected Channel
Scans selected channel in the handset to detect the AP on any channel. (The
handset does
not need to be configured for the channel.)
Range Beep
A beep that is played whenever the handset measures a filtered field strength
of below the
configured value (default -70 dBm) from the currently associated AP.
Note: Since the value is filter
ed, sudden drops in field strength caused by the environment,
for example walking through a door into a room, can be delayed. It is therefore important to
walk through the site slowly to ensure that all weak spots are covered.
Range Beep Level
Configures the RSSI threshold value.
Location Survey
Possibility to use Site survey mode for Ekahau that wi
ll
cause location scanning to be
performed at shorter intervals: 1s.
