Carrier Test
The carrier test measures the amount of radio activity on each frequency available
to the access point. 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 Carrier Test, 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.
