— The IEEE information
— The Remote Statistics tab
These tallies can be useful in determining whether or not the performance of
your network is caused by interference.
Remote Link Test
For instructions about the Remote Link Test window that displays
communications as dynamic indicators, please refer to the information about
this window as described on “Remote Link Test Window” on page 5-20.
Important indicators to monitor on the Remote Link Test window are:
■
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) for an overview of the radio link quality.
■
Signal level to determine whether a poor SNR is related to a weak radio
signal (i.e. a station is “out-of-range”).
■
Noise level to determine whether a poor SNR is related to a source of
interference.
IEEE Information
The IEEE information on the
IEEE 802.11
tab in the monitor mode allows you to
track frame activity on the IEEE interface of the Access Point.
