Is a client’s network interface
card operating correctly?
From the Home Screen, select Clients, and touch on the client you want to examine. The
tester will discover the client if the client transmits probe request frames and display basic
settings, such as the channel and SSIDs the client uses in probes.
See “Discovering Clients," page 27.
Can a client roam on a network,
and where does roaming occur?
When a Connect to Network test successfully connects, tap the Tests button and then
select Roaming Test. The Connection Range graph shows you the quality of the
connection to the current AP. When the AirCheck G2 roams to another AP, a green vertical
line appears when the association to the new AP occurs. Also the new AP name will appear
in the top line.
See “Performing a Network Roaming Test and AP Range Test," page 83.
What is the range of an AP for a
client to stay connecte
d?
When a Connect to Access Point test successfully connects, tap the Tests button and then
select Range Test. The Connection Range graph show you the quality of the connection to
the AP. As the AirCheck G2 moves further away, the connection quality decreases. A red
vertical line will appear when the AirCheck G2 disassociates from the AP. A green vertical
line will appear when it re-associates to the AP.
See “The Access Point Range Test," page 86.
