The test run parameters depend on the network environment. Specify the test run
environment as wired or wireless. The test run can be saved, modified, and
reused.
To add or edit a test run, configure the following parameters:
Test Run Name
Name for the test
run.
Traffic Test Environment
Select Wired to test wired connectivity.
Select Wireless to test wireless connectivity and
network RSSI.
Suite Name
The name for the test
suite. A test suite is a group of tests that can be run on any AP. A
Test Suite record defines a test sequence of one or more generic tests
that can be run by any AP in the system.
Test Network
The network that is being
tested.
The following network authentication types are supported:
OPEN, WEP, OWE and WPA2-Personal (PSK).
Test Duration
Maximum about of time
allocated for the test. Valid values are 6-60 minutes. After the Test
Duration limit, all APs are restored to the normal service state, and an
incomplete test is terminated without result. A best practice is to
configure the Test Duration value greater than the sum total of all
enabled tests in the selected test suite.
Iperf Base Port
Specify the base port
number. This is the starting point when running test with multiple APUTs
in parallel. The AP Test Manager starts the first test at the base port
and increases the port number by 1 to run multiple tests in parallel.
Before starting the test run, make sure the iperf server instance on the
ports has been launched.
Wireless test only.
Select the AP radio band to be tested. When an AP model offers more than
one radio on a selected band, the lower radio is included in the
test.
Access Points List
Select one or more access
points to run the test against. To find a specific AP, use the
Search field.
Note
AP service is
interrupted when running tests on a wireless network.
When running a wireless test, select the Probe AP that is located in or
near the physical location of the test. The Probe AP switches to client mode and searches
for the network SSID for connection to the test network, on the defined Wi-Fi
band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz).
