Page 189 AutoTest App and Profiles AutoTest Overview AutoTest consists of three distinct testing levels: Test Targets, Profiles, and Profile Groups. You can create as many Profile Groups, Profiles, and Test Targets as you need. At the bottom level is a set of individual Test Targets that connect to network services, such as a web app or FTP site.
Page 190 AutoTest App and Profiles A Test Target can be added to and used in any number of Profiles. A Profile contains a series of individual network tests. There are three different Profile types: Wired, Wi-Fi, and Air Quality. The Wired and Wi- Fi Profiles include connection tests and credentials for a Wi-Fi network or Wired VLAN.

Tap each Warning or Failure field to select a new value or enter a custom one. Each threshold also has a toggle button that allows you to disable grading based on that measurement entirely.
Page 392 AutoTest App and Profiles If the Combine Utilization setting is enabled in General Settings, there is only a single combined 802.11 and non-802.11 Utilization Threshold. Utilization measurements and thresholds are percentages of a channel's capacity. Co-channel interference measurements and thresholds are the number of APs operating on the same channel.

Page 531 Discovery App As with other settings list screens on the CyberScope, you can enable or disable, add, delete, and edit the grouping rules from this screen.
Page 532 Discovery App Check or uncheck the boxes to include or exclude a rule from use in the current Discovery configuration. Tap the action overflow icon to Duplicate or Delete a rule. CAUTION: When you delete a rule, you delete it from all saved Discovery configurations. To remove a rule from those used by the current Discovery configuration, simply uncheck it.
Page 533 Discovery App Name If desired, enter a custom name for a default or new rule. If you intend to use a Prefix filter, a best practice would be to name the rule with the AP manufacturer's name. Prefix filter Use the Prefix filter to create a rule for a specific AP manufacturer's BSSID scheme, meaning a rule for just one AP manufacturer prefix.
Page 534 Discovery App Filter mask The Filter mask specifies what parts of the BSSIDs are compared when determining AP groupings. For example, default Grouping Rule 1 has a Filter mask of FFFFFF-FFFFC0, so any BSSIDs that vary only by the lower six bits are grouped together.

Page 706 Capture App When the Capture app opens, filters are already set with the BSSID, Channel, and Channel Width from the Wi-Fi app.
Page 707 Capture App The Capture settings are saved until you clear the filters or open the app with new filters applied. Tap the settings icon in the Capture screen to configure capture settings.
Page 708 Capture App File Size Limit: Tap this field to specify a size for the capture file. The default size is 1 MB, and largest size allowed is 1000 MB. The capture stops when the captured file reaches this size.
Page 709 Capture App When capture is running, the capture screen displays the current file size as data is captured. Slice Size: Tap this field to select a specific frame slice size or enter a custom value. The Slice Size setting limits how much of each packet is captured.
Page 710 For example, if you set up a filter to capture traffic to and from IP 10.250.0.70 on Port 80, and then you enable NOT, the CyberScope captures all traffic except traffic to and from 10.250.0.70 on port 80.

Page 741 Back to Title and Contents CyberScope User Guide Performance Test The CyberScope's line rate Performance Test provides point-to-point performance testing of a traffic stream across wired IPv4 network infra- structure. This test quantifies network performance in terms of target rate, throughput, loss, latency, and jitter.
Page 742 Wired Profile must connect successfully to establish link on the port. When you start up the CyberScope, the last Wired Profile in the list of active AutoTest profiles runs automatically if an active Ethernet connection is detected on the top RJ-45 port. Otherwise, you may need to manually run a Wired AutoTest to link.
Page 743 The CyberScope can act as the controlling Source for the performance test or as a Peer for a test conducted by different source device, such as another CyberScope or a OneTouch AT 10G.
