•
Measure noise floor with final hardware installed (i.e. antennae, cable) using radio or spectrum analyzer.
The in-built spectrum analyzer can be used to scan the on-channel and neighboring channel noise levels.
•
Compare actual received signal strength with expected signal strength from path study.
•
Perform throughput and latency tests before leaving site using the built-in RF Throughput diagnostic tool
and/or a throughput tool such as iperf.
•
Confirm successful customer data test before leaving site.
Troubleshooting
•
Obtain customer success/fail statistics on SCADA master polls.
•
Capture radio settings (via screen shot and/or the active configuration file).
•
Capture radio statistics (via screen shot or other).
•
Capture LAN statistics (via screen shot or other).
•
Capture terminal server statistics (via screen shot or other).
•
Perform noise measurement with radio and/or spectrum analyzer.
•
Obtain diagnostic slot capture from Access Point on problematic link.
•
Sweep cable and antenna for loss with network analyzer (a.k.a site analyzer, cable and antenna tester).
