NOTES:
• If the Link-Live Connection setting is Off in Device
Settings > Link-Live Settings, the AirCheck G2 does
not query Link-Live for Test Accessories. See “Link-
Live Settings,” page 109.
• If you restore a Test Accessory to factory default
configuration, you must un-claim the Test Accessory in
Link-Live and re-claim it before AirCheck G2 can
discover it from Link-Live again.
Available iPerf Remotes List
This list displays the iPerf servers that AirCheck G2 has
discovered using the above methods. Each server is listed
with its MAC address or name from Link-Live, IP address, link
speed, and battery level or PoE status.
• The Battery icon indicates the battery level or PoE
status of the Test Accessory.
• The Cloud icon marks claimed Test Accessories that
were discovered from Link-Live Cloud Service.
• iPerf Remotes shown with a gray background and the
unlink
ed symbol are Test Accessories that were
previously discovered by the AirCheck G2 from Link-Live,
but were not detected during the most recent scan.
Tap Rescan to restart the scan for Test Accessories.
Tap the Settings button at the bottom of the Select iPerf
Server screen to access the iPerf Settings. These are the
same iPerf Settings that appear in the main AirCheck G2
Settings screen. See “iPerf Settings,” page 122.
How to: Discover a Test Accessory using the Ethernet Test
You can aid discovery of your Test Accessory by the AirCheck
G2 by running an Ethernet Test on the same subnet where
you plan to connect your Test Accessory.
1
Connect your AirCheck G2 to your subnet using the same
Ethernet switch port you plan to use to connect your Test
Accessory.
2
From the AirCheck G2 home screen, tap Ethernet Test to
start an Ethernet test.
3
Once the Ethernet Test completes, disconnect the
AirCheck G2 and reconnect your Test Accessory using the
same switch port.
4
On AirCheck G2, Connect to the appropriate Network or
AP, and then select iPerf Test at the bottom of the
Connect to Network/AP screen.
5
Your connected Test Accessory should appear in the list
of Available iPerf Remotes sorted by IP address. Tap the
Test Accessory's row in the list to populate the top iPerf
Server field with its IP address, and tap the Start button
to begin the iPerf test.
