How do I verify if the RF connection between the VeriWave system and the AP under test is good?
To verify the connection is good you must verify the AP transmission power is within the limits of the VeriWave receiver. Also, you must verify the transmission power of the VeriWave clients are within the limits of the APs receiver. Verifying the AP transmission power is described first. To verify the APs transmission (TX) power is with the limits of the VeriWave receiver, you must first know what the limits of the receiver are. Currently the limits are different for the 802.11a/b/g port than they are for the 802.11a/b/g/n port. Ideal limits are: • 802.11a/b/g blade: -25 to -35dBm • 802.11n blade: -5 to -20dBm Max and min limits are: • 802.11a/b/g blade: -20 to -60dBm • 802.11n blade: 0 to -40dBm To identify the signal strength of the AP, open WaveDynamix and connect to the chassis. Right click the 802.11 port which is connected to the AP. Select Scan all channels. After the scan is complete, go into the properties tab and open the Visible APs bullet. Select your AP and continue openi
