LSM Scanner
Checking the scanner check box on the bottom of the scanner screen provides a graphical scanner display
that shows the signal strength of detected access points on a diagonal line. Access points with strong
signals are displayed in the green area; those with weak signals are displayed in the red area. Each access
point is identified by network name or SSID. If the network name is not available, only the access point
MAC address is displayed. The graphical scanner display provides a quick visual indication of the access
points and their signal strengths (see Figure 7-12).
Note The LSM scanner only displays access points configured for broadcast SSID. Typically, broadcast SSID
is deactivated on access points that are configured for security.
