Using AutoTest to Diagnose Your Network Health

8. USING AUTOTEST TO DIAGNOSE YOUR NETWORK HEALTH
AutoTest automatically checks the health of your network by
examining Air Quality for utilization and interference and
Network Quality for the SSIDs that have been configured for
AutoTest. See “AutoTest Settings,” page 118.
When AutoTest runs, the test result fields turn green, red, or
yellow to indicate the status or rating of the result. For
example, in Figure 19, the 802.11 Utilization test has passed,
the Non 802.11 Utilization and Co-Channel Interference has
received a warning, and Adjacent Channel Interference has
failed.
These ratings are controlled by the Thresholds configured in
the AirCheck G2’s Settings > Thresholds.
See “Adjusting the Test Thresholds,” page 64.
To run an AutoTest, tap the AutoTest field on the Home
Screen. The AutoTest results screen opens and results are
displayed as each test finishes.
• Tap the down arrows next to each row to view
specific measurements.
• Tap the Re
start button to clear results and start a new
test.
• Tap the Sav
e icon to save the results as a session file.

mments screen
