Note
Before running this test, you need to configure
the appropriate SSID. See “Wireless Security
Settings” on page 99.
The Link test applies only to APs. The test determines the
instrument’s ability to connect to a selected AP. If a
connection is made, the test reports signal strength and
the signal strength of the RF of the associated AP. It also
reports information returned by the DHCP server.
Login Diagnosis
The Login Diagnosis test monitors a wireless client’s
attempt to authenticate on the wireless LAN. The test
monitors the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
communication process between a selected client and
the access point it is attempting to associate and
authenticate with. This test can help you troubleshoot
problems that a device is having with connecting to the
WLAN.
Signal Strength
The Signal Strength test measures signal strength and
noise for the selected device.
Tap the graph to view signal strength and noise data for
a particular time period.
The graph is continuously updated according to the
interval specified in the Update every box. You can
change the sampling period by selecting a different time
interval from this box.
WLAN Statistics
The WLAN Statisticstest enables you to view data for the
traffic to and from the selected device. The following
packet types are analyzed and results are shown in
