Figure 25. AutoTest Network Tests
NOTE:
When you connect to a network, the tester usually
connects through the access point that has the highest
Signal-to-Noise Ratio. If the network includes secure and
unsecured access points and security credentials are
available, the tester tries to connect to the secure access
point that has the highest Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Some
networks use a controller that connects you to the access
point that has the least amount of traffic.
Network Quality Results
Figure 26. AutoTest Network Quality
Network Coverage: Indicates the
number of access points
the tester detected that are supporting the network. This
field also displays a rating symbol based on the Network
Coverage threshold.
Co-channel Interference: Displays the number of APs that
exceed the minimum signal strength threshold with primary
or secondary channels on the same channel on which the
tester connects to the network.
Security: Indicates whether all access points use security
protocols that are more secure than WEP, for example, WPA
or WPA2.
