I want to make the Ekahau Site Survey using Extreme Network AP310 (not Cisco Meraki). So I have to configure the AP310 (SSID, Channel, DHCP, Power Level, etc) with only one Client (my Laptop) to start the Ekahau survey, and their is no need of a internet connection in this case.
Ekahau Sidekick is a professional Wi-Fi device that provides highly accurate and standardized Wi-Fi measurements by using two Wi-Fi radios and a spectrum analyzer to achieve expert-level Wi-Fi site surveys and troubleshooting across your network.
You can place APs with integrated BLE devices or add a new stand-alone BLE device type, which provides a choice of three Aruba beacons, or a generic beacon. This should be enough to get going with, but Ekahau will be expanding the list of devices over time. Ekahau Site Survey only supports predictive planning at the moment, with the promise of Bluetooth surveys further down the line.
The adapter fits into any laptop that has a standard USB interface. When used with Ekahau Site Survey, the adapter allows for quick site surveys on any 802.11ac as well as 802.11abgn network. Site surveys can be performed simultaneously for 2.4 and 5GHz frequency bands.
Whether a single Sidekick is shared among a couple of teams or several teams with a mix of Mac and Windows PCs all have Sidekicks, the new magic strips away all of the variability that came from a mixed bag of adapters at survey time while also providing long battery life (and a platform from which a slew of expected feature evolutions) which can only lead to better wireless when put in skilled hands.
With the right skills behind you, you should be feeling ready to start looking for Ekahau Wireless Site Survey Engineer jobs. Working for an employer is a secure way to go, and there are loads of network survey engineer roles available. Positions in this field pay very similarly to other entry-level networking roles, with Ekahau Wireless Site Survey Engineer salaries ranging from $40,000 to $50,000. This is well above the US national average, making it a proper position, especially when you consider the room it has for promotions.
hello community!
Today we carried out a site survey study on the site and we observed in the results that the hostname of the MR does not show, only the MAC, which complicates the tracking of the MR, I found a post that seemed interesting to me -LAN/Enable-AP-name-advertising/m-p/29045, some idea of how be able to solve this
Your current survey won't be fixed so you'll have to manually edit them.
Depending on the amount of SSID's you have and for what SSID you were surveying the MAC adresses of the AP's in dashboard will be almost the same as the ones in your survey.
Aironet IE is something from Aironet AP's, not Meraki AP's. I don't think they have added the feature.
If you are doing a survey with a tool like Ekahau you can edit the measured AP names and just use the mac address to compare to the dashboard AP's.
You do have to account for the last hex character counting up for each SSID. So you best search for the last 4 digits and ignore the last one.
The Ekahau Sidekick 2 is a hardware device that is used to perform site surveys for wireless networking installations. It is a portable device that can be carried around a facility to measure the coverage and performance of a wireless network.
The device also has the ability to conduct site surveys, which are used to plan and design wireless networks. Site surveys involve walking around a building or area while the device scans for wireless signals and records information about them. This data can be used to identify the optimal location for access points, as well as to predict how the network will perform under different conditions.
For those who wish to learn more about the technicalities of the device, check out this great post on the Ekahau website. Is your office space or warehouse in need of a proper Wireless Site Survey? CORE is ready to help you.
