AirCheck Functions
AutoTest
Performs three essential WiFi tests and a pass/fail
indication of the wireless environment and identi-
fies common problems - for any level of expertise.
Air Quality
- Checks for Wi-Fi and non Wi-Fi utili-
zation by channel, plus co-channel interference.
Network Quality
- Verify coverage, interfer-
ence, security and ability to connect to specified
networks.
Rogue Access Points
- Identify AP’s not listed in
the profile
AutoTests are user configurable and based on the
multiple profiles which can be stored in AirCheck
and selected for different sites or requirements.
Results may also be stored for export to AirCheck
Manager.
List Networks
Find security issues, rogue APs and coverage
problems and view a list of all wireless networks
heard by AirCheck. Instantly see the following for
each network:
• Signal level
• Security / encryption
• Number of APs in network
• SSID name
• Type of network
AirCheck displays networks that it can no longer
“hear” in a gray font.
List Access Points
Find configuration and coverage problems as well
as rogue APs. View a list of all physical APs heard
by AirCheck or clients connected to a specific AP,
and see the following:
• Channel
• Signal level
• AP name or MAC address
• SSID name (or count of SSIDs for virtual
APs)
• Security / encryption
• Type of network
Channel Usage
Quickly determine if channels are overloaded due
to Wi-Fi traffic (displayed in blue) or interference
(displayed in gray). Verify channel-usage pattern or
overlap and flag illegal use of channels.
With AirCheck, you can also detect the presence
of interference. Devices that can cause interfer-
ence include microwave ovens, cordless phones and
headsets, BlueTooth® devices, and analog video
cameras.
Drill in further to see the level of Wi-Fi traffic and
interference over the last 60 seconds on a selected
channel, as well as the access points using this
channel.
