Performing the Test
To perform the test, you must first setup the laptop station to monitor the Access Point. To configure
the station, see Monitor on page 6 for more information.
1. Install and run RadioNET Manager on the laptop.
See Section 2: RadioNET Manager
2. View the INFO – CONNECTIVITY screen at the laptop station to monitor the connectivity quality
of the Access Point. See Connectivity on page 7 for more information.
3. Raise and locate the Access Point’s transceiver to the highest possible location, clear from
obstructions on any side.
4. With the portable notebook station, move to the location where each wireless station will be
located. Locate the notebook so that you can position its transceiver as close to the location
where the proposed station’s transmitter will be located. Place the transceiver, then call up the
NETWORK INFORMATION AND CONNECTIVITY screen onto the notebook’s screen. Read the rat-
ing for the Access Point. If the Access Point does not have a rating of 5, attempt to raise the
value to 5 by relocating the transceiver. Note the highest rating that you attain during the test on
the map. Also note the location of the transceiver where this rating was a 5.
Next, move to the next designated station location. Repeat the steps above until you note each
location’s connectivity quality rating from the notebook.
When you have completed your mapping, you will have an illustrated view of the best connectivity
quality that can be attained between the Access Point and each station in the network. You will also
be familiar with the best locations to position transceivers throughout the network.
