Credentials
Profiles are files that save configuration settings for the
Tester and security credentials for networks and APs, which
let the Tester connect and perform roaming tests and
connectivity tests to DNS servers, DHCP servers, the default
router, and network targets. Profiles also include the
following information:
All 802.11 settings (For example,
Enable 2.4-GHz band
and
Enable 5-GHz band
)
AutoTest settings
Ethernet test settings
Interferer Settings
IP addresses used for ping or TCP Port Connect tests
iPerf Settings
Location and Language
Thresholds for the colored bar graphs and Pass,
Warning, and Fail ratings
Profiles can be password protected so that unauthorized
users cannot use the Tester to connect to secure networks or
access network security credentials on the AirCheck G2
Manager PC application.
