Summary
Performing a survey is a logical process. Understand the site, evaluate the site, note possible problem areas, perform a manual or assisted survey, configure the APs based on the survey results, and perform a final verification. (Installation of APs is done after the manual survey or after a density test.) Following this logical flow makes the overall survey process seem very simple.The heart of a high-quality survey is understanding how to use and interpret the results of the survey tools and what the parameters need to be to cell boundaries (essential information to define AP coverage areas).Sites vary, and so will the type of survey used and approach to the survey. Warehouse, manufacturing, and large retail surveys typically use manual surveys, whereas facilities containing only offices and cubicles might use an assisted site survey. Small, single-AP sites such as a small retail store might not need a structured survey. Sites with wireless voice require more attention to specifics. In all cases, understanding and applying the fundamentals covered in this chapter will enable you to conduct a survey that results in a quality WLAN appropriate for the intended wireless applications. |
