If you are not running in standalone mode, there are two ways to connect to a server:
Using a client to connect to the server - From the client, in the Network tab, click Connect. Select
●
Remote Server as the Server type.Enter the IP address of the server to connect to it.
Using a server to connect to a client - From the server, choose the menu option End Point > Connect.

NOTE
You do not require remote server connection to use the measurement client. However, to properly judge the
performance of an AP, it is mandatory to enforce data transfer while taking measurements in the AP Performance
mode. One of the ways is to use the AP Performance Server. When you use the AP Performance Server, the
server connection (both remote and local) generates network traffic to enable you to retrieve statistics such as
application level throughput, packet latency, and retry rates. Many users choose not to set up a remote AP
Performance Server to simplify their measurement tasks and use a local AP Performance Server measurement
method to enforce data transfer. Without enforcing data transfer, you can still measure RSSI and noise.
NOTE
It is important that you do not have a software firewall on either computer blocking the client-server connection.
