APoS site surveys can be an essential part of designing and deploying Wi-Fi networks. To conduct a successful APoS site survey, you need the right equipment. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the equipment we include in our APoS kit and why we think it's important. Note: other tools and products [...]
In this blog post, we will see how we can make a simple API Call to the Mist cloud in order to have all APs, supporting a Wi-Fi network, broadcast their name. We usually enable this feature when we are about to do a Wi-Fi site survey. This allows us to see the AP names [...]
I wanted to play around and see how I could automate the process of preparing a Cisco AP for an APoS site survey. So I decided to try it out on a Catalyst 9120 running IOS-XE. In this article, I will explain how to use the script. You can find the script on my GitHub: [...]
When I perform Wi-Fi validation or Wi-Fi assessments, I like to take pictures of the access points and document it later. I also save these pictures and provide them to the customer. Lately, with the use of the Ekahau survey application on iPad, I have been attaching these pictures to an AP object on my [...]
This is a video showing you how to retrieve the scale of a floor plan in AutoCAD in order to scale it in Ekahau. This video follows the one we published to explain how to export PDF floor plans from AutoCAD: www.semfionetworks.com/blog/preparing-floor-plans-for-ekahau-in-autocad
Floor plans are very important for us WLAN professionals. We need them to do our designs and surveys. Sometimes, the quality of the floor plans we receive from our customer (when we receive some) is not always the best. Just like a baker needs quality flour to produce good bread. As Wi-Fi Engineers we need [...]
This year WLPC was another great event. If you missed it and would like a recap, listen to the ClearToSend podcast episode #111 Rowell and I recorded. Glenn Cate and I proposed a talk on Warehouse Wi-Fi and we were fortunate enough to be selected as one of the main sessions. Here is how our presentation turned [...]
This article will explains how to convert a CAPWAP AP to a Cisco Mobility Express AP. The AP model used as an example in this article is a Cisco Aironet 2802i. Note: if you are planning on doing an AP-on-a-stick site survey with a Cisco Aironet 2800 or 3800, you will have to convert the [...]
This article explains how to configure a Cisco Mobility Express AP for an AP-on-a-Stick site survey using the CLI (Command Line Interface). It is also possible to do it using the provisioning SSID. Right before configuring the AP for the survey, I had to convert it from the CAPWAP mode to the Mobility Express mode. [...]
I first wanted to call this article "How to get ready for a validation survey". However, following the talk from Jake's blog post on the importance of functional validation testing along with the actual validation survey, I decided to give it this present title. Indeed, I totally agree with Jake that validating the performance of a Wi-Fi [...]
