The tools are merely more detailed in order to overcome all of the things
that people overlook.

That's much the difference between using SDM or some GUI to configure your
Cisco network and actually understanding/using CLI to do so. The SDM's are
much more advanced than they used to be, but there still needs to be some
inherent awareness about the underlying technology to be sure things work
work properly!

Wireless is not a magic bandaid for solving user needs or connectivity
issues, and any site survey SHOULD be well planned and very detailed.
Otherwise, you are most likely destined to revisiting the network/site over
and over.

My two cents.

Hello Radioactive,
I am reading out the admin guide as we speak, It seems to be very
comprehensive, this involves knowing the building materials, floor plans,
etc, looks like I may beed to get a lot of the information from the
facilities. Before my site survey was simply just put an ap walk around with
a laptop and see how the coverage is which also involved manually changing
the channels to different frequency if there was interference. However, now
the tools are much more sofisticated and involved. The admin guide that I am
reading now is 350 pages. If anyone has any additional experience regarding
site surveys, please contact me offline.
Sincerely,
John
