• Include Probe Request – Selects whether to issue a Probe Request during the
Roam.When enabled, a Probe Request is issued (and a Probe Response
expected) by each roaming virtual station during the Roam just before the
802.11 Authentication stage. When disabled, no Probe Request is sent.
• Include 802.11 Authentication – Selects whether to perform basic 802.11
Authentication during the Roam. When enabled, each roaming vSTA issues
an Authentication Request to the target AP during a Roam and it expects an
Authentication Response. When disabled, the 802.11 Authentication is
skipped during a Roam and the vSTA proceeds to the (Re)Association
exchange.
Run : Starts the execution of the test defined by this scenario.
Pause : Pauses the test and temporarily halts all virtual stations defined in the sce-
nario. Virtual stations may be restarted by selecting the Run option. This option
is dimmed (cannot be selected) if the scenario is not running.
Terminate : Stops a test and halts all virtual stations defined in the scenario. Vir-
tual stations must be reset before they can be run again. This option is dimmed
(cannot be selected) if the scenario is not running.
Reset : Resets all virtual stations in the scenario to a started state. Statistics for the
virtual stations are reset to zero. This option can be used to restart any virtual sta-
tions that may have encountered problems during a test.
Quiesce : This selection causes the scenario (that is, all virtual stations) to grace-
fully stop. The vSTA completes any currently active iteration, then stops. A qui-
esced vSTA must be reset before it can run again.
