A. The ACU Site Survey tool can operate in two modes. • Passive mode • Active mode In passive mode, the tool does not initiate any RF traffic to understand RF behavior. Instead, it listens to the traffic that the client adapter hears and displays the results. Refer to Using Passive Mode for more information on how to use the ACU Site Survey tool in passive mode. In active mode, the client adapter actively sends and receives low-level RF packets to or from its associated access point and provides information on the success rate. It also enables you to set parameters that govern how the site survey is performed (such as the data rate). Refer to Using Active Mode for more information about how to use the ACU Site Survey tool in active mode.
