Co-Channel
Interference
Number of APs on a same channel. These same thresholds are
used for Adjacent Channel Interference in the 2.4-GHz band.
AutoTest Air Quality
AP Signal Level The minimum signal level at which an AP must be measured to
be counted in Co-Channel and Adjacent Channel Interference
measurements.
AutoTest Air Quality
Threshold Heading Description Associated Test Screens
Network Quality Thresholds
Network Coverage
and AP Signal Level
The number of APs, and the minimum signal level at which
they must be measured to be counted. It is recommended to
have at least 2 APs above -67dBm on different channels for a
network at each location.
AutoTest Network Tests
Co-Channel
Interference and
AP Signal Level
Number of APs, and the minimum signal level at which they
must be measured to be counted, on the same channel as the
network.
AutoTest Network Tests
Network Connection Thresholds
Retry Rate The number of retry frames as a percentage of total
transmitted frames during the network connection.
AutoTest Network Tests
Connected PHY Rate The PHY data rate of the network connection as a percentage
of the maximum PHY data rate that the AP supports.
AutoTest Network Tests
iPerf Thresholds
TCP Bandwidth The rate of traffic from the AirCheck G2 to the iPerf server/Test
Accessory. Grades the measured Avg. Up Speed and Avg.
Down Speed for an iPerf test using the TCP protocol. (Pass/
Green and Fail/Red only)
iPerf Test
UDP Loss Percentage The percentage of frames that can be lost. This threshold only
applies when iPerf testing with the UDP protocol.
