AirMagnet Spectrum XT User Guide
Selecting Another WiFi Driver
By default, each time you start AirMagnet Spectrum XT, the application will always look for
and use the WiFi driver that was used in the previous session. If the user has only one WiFi
driver installed on the PC, this should not be a problem. However, if you have more than one
WiFi driver installed on the PC and you prefer to use a different WiFi driver than the one you
used before, this may be somewhat inconvenient. This is where the Driver tab in the
Configure dialog box comes into play. It allows you to select or switch to any WiFi driver of
your choice.
To select another WiFi driver:
1) From the Configure dialog box, click the Driver tab. See Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5: Selecting a WiFi driver
2) Select the desired driver.
3) Click Apply and then OK.
Specifying Band Settings
Users in regions with specific wireless range restrictions have the ability to specify precisely
which channels shall be scanned in AirMagnet Spectrum XT by simply selecting the desired
region from a drop-down provided in the application’s configuration window. This
streamlines the process of narrowing down the channels needed based on the area in which
the network is located to a simple one-click process.Users may also select a frequency band
from a provided list. See Figure 4-6.
