Using AutoTest to Diagnose Your Network Health
40
• If AirCheck G2 detects APs that have the
Unauthorized status, the field turns red.
If any Rogue Access Points are detected, you can tap the
down arrow to see the number and type of Rogue APs, tap
the blue triangle icon to view the AP names, and then, tap
another down arrow next to each AP to view its BSSID, SSID,
Signal strength, and channel.
AutoTest Network Tests
The Network Test measurements check for network
availability; the existence of interference from access points
using the same channel, which may cause network slowness;
AP use of consistent security methods for a network; and the
ability to connect and use the network (access to services,
other devices).
How to: Run Network Tests as Part of AutoTest
1
To see these tests, you must enter and save the security
credentials for the network you wish to test.
See “Entering Network Security
Credentials,” page 62.
2
You must also select the networks you want tested
during AutoTest from the AutoTest Settings screen
( Settings > AutoTest Settings).

Tap AutoTest from the Home Screen.
Once the SSID and security credentials have been entered,
AutoTest runs Network Tests for each network selected.
In the example shown in Figure 24, security for the SSID,
“Cisco4400,” has been configured and added to the Profile,
and the network is selected in AutoTest Settings.
Network Test results are reported on the AutoTest results
screen below the Air Quality test results. In Figure 25, the
Network test for “Cisco4400” has run and passed.
