Running the Carrier Busy Test
Running the Carrier Busy Test
You can use the carrier busy test to determine the least conjested channel for a radio interface (802.11g
or 802.11a). You should typically run the test several times over several days to obtain the best results
and to avoid temporary activity spikes.
Note The carrier busy test is primarily used for single access points or bridge environments. For sites with
multiple access points, a site survey is typically performed to determine the best operation location and
operating frequency for the access points.
Note All associated clients on the selected radio will be deassociated during the 6 to 8 seconds needed for the
carrier busy test.
Perform these steps to activate the carrier busy test:
Step 1 Use your web browser to access the access point browser interface.
Step 2 Click Network Interfaces and the Network Interface Summary screen appears.
Step 3 Choose the radio interface experiencing problems by clicking Radio0-802.11G or Radio1-802.11A.
The respective radio status page appears.
Step 4 Click the Carrier Busy Test tab and the Carrier Busy Test screen appears
Step 5 Click Start to begin the carrier busy test.
When the test completes, the results are displayed on the screen. For each of the channel center
frequencies, the test produces a value indicating the percentage of time that the channel is busy.
Running the Ping/Link Test
You can use the ping or link test to evaluate the link to and from an associated wireless device. The ping
or link test provides two modes of operation:
a. Perform a test using a specified number of packets and then display the test results.
b. Perform a test that continuously operates until you stop the test and then displays the test results.
Perform these steps to activate the ping or link test:
Step 1 Use your web browser to access the access point browser interface.
Step 2 Click Association and the main association page appears.
Step 3 Click the MAC address of an associated wireless device and the Statistics page for that device appears.
Step 4 Click the Ping/Link Test tab and the Ping/Link Test page appears.
