Use the External Directional Antenna to Locate an Access Point

Use the External Directional Antenna
to Locate an Access Point
In large, open areas, the external directional antenna can
show you the direction of a signal source more precisely
than the omnidirectional antenna in the tester.
In areas that have many rooms, for example in
schools and hospitals, use the internal
omnidirectional antenna to locate access points.
To use the external antenna to locate an access point
1 Connect the antenna to the antenna jack on the rear of
the tester. The screen shows the antenna icon (
when you connect the antenna. The tester uses only the
external antenna when the antenna is connected.
When the external antenna is connected, the tester
will not transmit, so it will not connect to a network
or access point.
2 Divide the area into four sections, as shown in Figure
17. Go to the center of the area.
