Getting started
In order to get started with site assessment test, you must have two registered WiFi Advisors connected over Bluetooth.
To get started
1
Launch the
WiFi Advisor
application.
2
Select
Two-Ended Site Assessment
.
Specifying settings
During Site Assessment test, up to five individual test profiles are configured that are repeated at each location. The test profiles
run sequentially at each location, and always in the same order. During Site Assessment, multiple test profiles may be configured
as part of a test sequence. This sequence will be repeated at each location, and always executed in the same order. A Site Assess-
ment configuration with multiple profiles will allow any profile to be enabled or disabled for the test session. Once defined, the
profile On/Off settings will apply to all locations tested in that session.
(Note that the concept of Primary / Secondary profiles present in earlier releases of the WiFi Advisor application has been replaced
by the ability to independently enable / disable any profile in the test configuration.)
