Avaya 3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handset SIP Administration Guide June 2012 83
Chapter Ten: Diagnostic tools
Three diagnostic tools, Run Site Survey, Diagnostics Enabled and Syslog Mode are
provided to assist the LAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the Avaya
3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handset and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic
Tools are enabled from the Admin menu.
The Halt on Error option in the Admin menu is a diagnostic tool that will cause the
handset to stop operating if an error message is received. Error details 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 restarting the handset.
Run Site Survey
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 about an AP, and to scan an area to look for all APs
regardless of 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
 Current security configuration
Start the site survey by selecting Run Site Survey from the Admin menu. The mode
starts immediately.
When the test is started, it is by default in “single SSID” mode. When the Any soft key is
pressed (softkey A) all APs, regardless of SSID, are displayed and the softkey changes
to say MyID. Pressing the MyID soft key will revert to the “single SSID” mode and
change the softkey back to Any.
The display would look like the following for the single AP mode.
1 1 1 1 11 - 22 33 4 44
1 1 1 1 11 - 22 33 4 44
1 1 1 1 11 - 22 33 4 44
