      • SSID, association state, security, channel
      • IP settings, such as my IP, gateway, DNS, etc.
     

    Access Point List

    Displays the audible access points, and hihglights the associated AP, as well as the APs that are not a part of your network. The list shows:

    • MAC, SSID
    • Channel, security, signal strength
    • Rogue (non-friendly) APs shown with red color
    • Associated AP shown with green color
     

    Background Monitoring

    Allows you to leave Ekahau Mobile Survey monitoring your network as your go on with your daily tasks. In the Background monitoring mode, Mobile Survey wakes up at predefined intervals, and runs various tests to check that the network is operating correctly.
