A method (60) of evaluating a potential location (30) to add a wireless field device (32) to an existing network of a plurality of existing wireless field devices (10) is provided. The method (60) includes placing (62) a handheld field maintenance tool (52) in the potential location (30) and causing the handheld field maintenance tool (52) to identify wireless field devices (10) within communicative range of the potential location (30). Information related to wireless communication at the potential location (30) is viewed. Methods (70, 250) are also provided for identifying a selected field device in a process installation using a handheld field maintenance tool (52).

La présente invention concerne un procédé (60) permettant d'évaluer un emplacement potentiel (30) pour ajouter un dispositif sur site sans fil (32) dans un réseau existant formé de plusieurs dispositifs sur site sans fil (10). Le procédé (60) consiste à placer (62) un instrument (52) de maintenance de site portatif au niveau de l'emplacement potentiel (30) et à commander l'instrument (52) de maintenance de site portatif pour qu'il identifie les dispositifs sur site sans fil (10) présents dans la zone de communication de l'emplacement potentiel (30). Les informations relatives à la communication sans fil au niveau de l'emplacement potentiel (30) sont regardées. Des procédés (70, 259) sont également présentés pour identifier, dans une installation industrielle, un dispositif sur site sélectionné, au moyen d'un instrument (52) de maintenance de site portatif.
