The Readiness Test checks the connections and the communication settings between AirDefense and devices in your network. The devices may be an AP, a Sensor, or a Switch. You may also run the Readiness Test to check a group of devices by using the network level as a starting point.
To access the Readiness Test, click Readiness Test from the drop-down menu of an AP, a Sensor, a Switch, or a network folder (level). A series of test are run and displayed in a Readiness Test overlay.
If you are running the Readiness Test from a device, it is run only on that device. If you are running the Readiness Test from a network folder (level), the test is run on all the devices included in that folder.
There are four categories of tests: Appliance Configuration, Management Modes, Device
Communication Verification, and Relay Server Communication Verification. Each
category can be expanded to review individual tests for that category by clicking
the category. Each of the tested items is marked as a success - , a problem -
, or a caution
area -
. If all
the tests under a category are successful, the category is marked as a success. If
one test under a category has a problem, the category is marked as a problem area.
You can click on any category to display the tests for that category. If a test is
marked as a problem or caution area, you can click on the test to navigate to the
problem area and take action to correct the problem.
