Abstract

See full text

A wireless edge device is operable in a wireless network and configured to communicate with other wireless devices in the wireless network. The wireless edge device includes a processor configured to receive an input to switch from a low power consumption normal operation mode to a site survey mode, a transceiver configured to (i) transmit data packets periodically or asynchronously to a wireless device of the wireless network, and (ii) receive the data packets returned by the wireless device, and a visual indicator. The processor is further configured to evaluate quality and/or reliability of the received data packets, to provide a signal to the visual indicator indicative of signal strength at the wireless edge device based on the evaluation of quality and/or reliability of the received data packets, and to switch from the site survey mode to the low power consumption normal operation mode after a predetermined time.
