Interferer Settings
These settings control how and when interfering devices are
detected:
Scan 2.4 GHz Band: Press the toggle button to turn interferer
scanning On or Off for all channels in the 2.4 GHz Band.
Scan 5 GHz Band: Press the toggle button to turn interferer
scanning On or Off for all channels in the 5 GHz Band.
Interferers Only Scan: Switch the toggle button to On to
cause the AirCheck G2 to look ONLY for interfering devices.
NOTE: The AirCheck G2 does not discover or display
Networks, APs, Clients, or Channel utilization while the
Interferer Only scan is On.
Inaudible Interferers: Select the down arrow to choose
whether AirCheck G2 displays in gray, or does not display,
interfering device types it can no longer detect after 30
seconds. The default setting is to Gray Out inaudible
interferers.
AutoTest Settings
The AutoTest Settings screen allows you to configure the
following settings:
Channel Scan Cycles: Allows you to specify the number of
times that the channels are scanned during an AutoTest. The
default value is 2, but you can set it to any value between 1
and 10, using the left or right arrow buttons.
Rogue AP Test: Allows you to specify whether AutoTest
identifies and lists APs which have been user configured with
an Authorization Class of Flagged or Unauthorized. You can
view and change an AP's Authorization Class from its Details
screen.
Network Tests: Allows you to include or exclude configured
network tests as part of AutoTest, by selecting the
corresponding boxes for the networks you want to test.
NOTE: In order to see a list of networks on the AutoTest
Settings screen, you must have the networks configured
already. You can add networks and APs in the Settings menu
or by selecting Connect from a Network or AP Details
screen.
See “Entering Network Security Credentials,” page 62.
