Radio Diagnostics Tests
Click Radio Diagnostics Tests to access the Radio Diagnostics page and conduct a carrier test
(Figure 13-2).
Figure 13-2 Radio Diagnostics Page
The carrier test helps you determine which radio frequencies contain the most radio activity and noise
that could interfere with radio signals to and from the access point.
Note The access point performs the carrier test for the internal radio only; it does not perform the
carrier test for the radio module.
Use the carrier test to determine the best frequency for the access point to use. When you conduct a
carrier test, make sure all wireless networking devices within range of the access point are operating to
make the test results reflect a realistic radio environment.
When you click Start, the radio scans the access point’s available frequencies and displays the radio
activity in the Carrier Test window.
Note The access point drops all associations with wireless networking devices during the carrier test.
Figure 13-3 shows an example Carrier Test window.
