Key Features
AutoTest
Performs three essential WiFi tests and a pass/fail indication of the wireless environment and identifies common problems – for any level of expertise.
Air Quality
Checks for Wi-Fi and non Wi-Fi utilization by channel, plus co-channel interference.
Network Quality
Verify coverage, interference, security and ability to connect to specified networks.
AirMapper Survey
Quickly and easily gather location-based Wi-Fi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live Cloud Service. That's both Active and Passive surveys.
Rogue Access Points
Identify AP’s not listed in the profile
Interferers
AirCheck's front page shows you if devices are causing interference to your wireless network, who they are and which channels they affect. Lots of “other” devices can operate on the same bands as your Access Points, this new feature allows you visibility into what other those devices may be and how they are affecting your environment. With the handy locate function to track them, removing them, or planning your wireless around them has never been easier, keeping clients happier!
List Networks
Find security issues, rogue APs and coverage problems and view a list of all wireless networks heard by AirCheck. Instantly see the following for each network:
- Signal level
- Security / encryption
- Number of APs in network
- SSID name
- Type of network
List Access Points
Find configuration and coverage problems as well as rogue APs. View a list of all physical APs heard by AirCheck or clients connected to a specific AP, and see the following:
- Channel
- Signal level
- AP name or MAC address
- SSID name (or count of SSIDs for virtual APs)
- Security / encryption
- Type of network
Channel Usage
Quickly determine if channels are overloaded due to Wi-Fi traffic (displayed in blue) or interference (displayed in gray). Verify channel-usage pattern or overlap and flag illegal use of channels. With AirCheck, you can also detect the presence of interference. Devices that can cause interference include microwave ovens, cordless phones and headsets, BlueTooth® devices, and analog video cameras. Drill in further to see the level of Wi-Fi traffic and interference over the last 60 seconds on a selected channel, as well as the access points using this channel.
Access Control Settings
Quickly determine which access points are known and which are not by setting the authorization status for each AP seen by AirCheck. You may also define access control settings in AirCheck Manager and download them in a profile.
Locate Access Points and Clients
Track down rogue and other APs or clients by graphing the signal strength over time, or by using an audible indication which can be muted.
Access Point Details
Quickly identify AP configuration problems. View the following information for each physical AP:
- Signal / noise/ signal-to-noise ratio
- SSID and BSSID
- ACL status, security and encryption
- Connected clients
Connect
Verify network availability and access by connecting to a network (SSID) or specified AP using three simple steps:
- Associate with AP
- Request IP address from DHCP server
- PING gateway, DHCP server and user-defined addresses
Client Details
Easily find misconfigured or failed client devices. Quickly drill into client details to see signal level, AP MAC and name, channel, SSID, type and determine the channels and frequencies on which the client is probing.
Packet Capture
When saving a session file, users also have the option to save that information as a PCAP.
iPerf
AirCheck can now act perform iperf tests to verify network throughputs. Simply connect your AirCheck to a Wireless network and access the iPerf test icon and you can perform the iPerf test to your own iPerf servers, or better still test to a NetAlly Test Accessory which is a small, self-contained iPerf server you can deploy around the network making testing simple and reliable.
Ethernet Tests
Performs ethernet connectivity tests to verify Power over Ethernet, Switch/Port, DHCP, Gateway and internet connection.
Link-Live Cloud
