Alvarion

! Freeze - to momentarily stop the dynamic indicators and updating of

numerical values, for example to analyze the results on your screen in more

detail.

! Reset - to reset all of the diagnostic counters back to zero.

You can use this option to investigate the results of an action to remedy a

cause of poor performance. For example after you switched off a

microwave oven that you suspect is causing interference. Clicking the

Reset

button will analyze the link quality again, ignoring previous results that may

have adversely influenced the statistics.

! Help - to display general information about the Client Manager link test.

To access the on-line help system you can also press the function key on

your keyboard.

Test History Tab

You can use the Test History tab to display link test results as a line-chart. You

can change the display to include the diagnostic parameters of your choice, and

a user-defined time window. You can set the time window to display the

information of the last minute, last hour or last 24 hours.

For example, if you have an Base Station that shows mysterious performance

problems at regular intervals, you can run the test history mode for 24 hours to:

! Determine the exact time the problem occurs in the selected Time

window

! Analyze what was causing the performance problem without having to

watch the dynamic indicators continuously.

Log Settings Tab

You can record the link test measurements to a log file, and use this log file to

more fully analyze the link quality. The measurement data can be logged

automatically at regular intervals or manually upon user-command.

For more information on log files, see Logging Measurement Data on page 5-

15.

Site Monitor Window

The Site Monitor option enables you to display the communications quality

between your Client Manager station and all Base Stations within its range.

The site monitor has been designed for indoor roaming environments to:

! Determine the overall wireless coverage of your network.

! Verify or optimize the placement of your Base Stations, in order to provide

seamless roaming connectivity to mobile stations.
