Which details should be captured about APs in a WLAN site survey?

• A. Location within facility, antenna type to be used, power output settings, how power will be provided to unit, and the expected data throughput per unit.
• B. Color of AP casing, vendor, firmware version, and warranty period.
• C. Serial numbers only.
• D. Manufacturer, cost, and model number.

Answer: (A)

In a WLAN site survey, you’re focusing on how the radios will behave in the space and how many users and applications they must support, so you capture details that directly influence coverage and capacity. Record where each AP will be located, the antenna type and pattern to be used, the transmit power settings, how power will be supplied to the unit (for example PoE class and power budget), and the expected data throughput per AP. This information lets you model coverage, estimate interference, and plan for sufficient capacity to meet user demand. Details like the AP’s color, vendor, firmware version, warranty period, serial numbers, or procurement-related facts (manufacturer, cost, model number) are useful for inventory and maintenance, but they don’t drive the radio performance and capacity considerations the site survey aims to address.
