 The number of access points the tester hears at
your location. This shows the number of physical access
points if Group virtual access points is selected. See page
39.
Up to 500 access points can be stored in the access point
database on the tester. When the access point icon turns
yellow, this indicates that greater than or equal to 400
access points have been discovered.
When the icon turns red, this indicates that 500 or more
access points have been discovered and the access point
database is full. Any new access points seen will not be
included in the list.

channel. This shows the number of physical access points
if Group virtual access points is selected. See page

same network. This can be a problem because the access
points can interfere with each other.
Verify Connectivity
Use connectivity tests to verify the operation of these
wireless network functions:
• Clients can connect to the network.
• Clients have access to network services (for example,
DHCP, DNS, and routers).
• Clients can communicate with other devices in a
reasonable amount of time.
• The range for client connections is satisfactory.
The tests also measure performance parameters that can
show you if the network has a problem.
Connect to a Network or Access Point
The tester can connect to a network (SSID) or to a specified
access point (BSSID) to make sure that the network or access
point is available to wireless clients.
You can also use the tester to connect to a secure network
to verify that security credentials are correct.
The tester shows the steps in the connection procedure, and
gives a log of events that occur (Figures 18 and 19).
