Using Link Test
The RoamAbout AP Manager provides a Link Test diagnostic tool that tests the signal
quality from the Access Point to a client or another Access Point.
1. Select the Access Point from the Managed List field in the AP Manager main window.
2. Click Integrity in the menu bar.
3. Select Link Test.
4. Under Remote Station Info in the Link Test window, click the down arrow to list the
available clients in the wireless network or the remote Access Points in a LAN-to-LAN
configuration.
5. Choose the client or Access Point to test the signal quality, then click the Start
Sampling button to start the test. To stop the test, click the Stop Sampling button.
6. Check the signal level and noise level if the SNR is low between the Access Point and
the other wireless device.
If the signal level is low, the devices may be too far apart or there are obstructions
between them.
If the noise level is high, determine the source of interference by selecting other clients.
If available, use the RoamAbout Client Utility Site Monitor tool at a mobile client to
better determine the location of the interference.
