The Wi-Net Window™ captures and displays essential information regarding identity, functionality, and capability of IEEE 802.11 b and g wireless devices. This wireless network analyzer detects and connects to wireless equipment, reports signal strength, pings Internet protocol (IP) addresses, and identifies network components. The handheld unit shows all detection information needed to determine the wireless environment and parameters of equipment being used in the vicinity of proposed installed components, including signal strength, encryption condition, Internet access capability, channel, service set identification (SSID), and other information.

Advanced ping mode enables access to DHCP of a network to confirm an IP address of a target or DNS component. Multiple pinging of up to four targets is conducted in advanced mode. Full 64- or 128-bit WEP support enables Wi-Net Window to perform ping functions on encrypted wireless access points. The unit is versatile and easy-to-use with a full alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD), navigation buttons, and screen prompts.
