Wireless Network Mapping

Integrated WLAN Deployment and Analysis

Wireless Infrastructure AnalysisThrough its wired-side network discovery and analysis, OptiView XG discoversand categorizes wireless LAN controllers, lightweight access points (AP),intelligent access points and wireless clients. Detailed device information isprovided from Cisco, Aruba, and Meru Wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) andLWAPs, including the wireless networks associated with the controller, theSSIDs, security and QoS parameters, the light-weight APs being controlled andthe 802.11 protocol in use.

Wireless Infrastructure Discovery

In version 12, OptiView XG uses data from wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) tocreate wireless connectivity maps. The content of the map can be filtered byselecting one or more SSIDs, desired WLAN frequency bands, device andsecurity types. Map details are user configurable, including link rates, channelsused, AP mode and capacity, client count by AP, and more wired infrastructureconnections show the entire network - from end-to-end - so you are neverwithout updated documentation of your wired and wireless network. Note:Wired-side wireless network discovery and mapping is not available in the"wireless only" versions of Optiview XG, "WL" models.

AirMagnet Spectrum XT

Expand Your Wireless Analysis Power with These Optional Capabilities:Wi-Fi AnalysisAirMagnet WiFi Analyzer is the industry standard tool for mobile auditing andtroubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi networks. AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer helps ITstaff quickly solve end-user issues while automatically detecting security threatsand wireless network vulnerabilities. The solution enables network managers toeasily test and diagnose dozens of common wireless performance issuesincluding throughput issues, connectivity issues, device conflicts and signalmultipath problems. AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer includes a full compliancereporting engine, which automatically maps collected network information torequirements for compliance with policy and industry regulations. It's a solutionthat simplifies key wireless network tasks such as:

Provides “root-cause” for reported Wi-Fi problemsWi-Fi based discovery of wireless access points and clientsMaximize 802.11 efficiencies and investmentComplete visibility of all Wi-Fi trafficDetection and location of rogue devices or security threatsIndependent ROI analysis of WLAN Infrastructure optionsAudit-ready compliance statusActive client-based connectivity testingInstantly troubleshoot BYOD induced security and performance issuesPacket captures and decode for complete analysis of 802.11 a/b/g/nWLAN's

AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer

802.11 Spectrum AnalysisThe AirMagnet Spectrum XT option provides in-depth RF analysis combinedwith real-time WLAN information for quicker and more accurate troubleshootingof performance problems. Spectrum Analysis offers real-time detection,identification and location of a number of non-WLAN sources that interfere withWLAN networks and their performance.

Industry’s largest RF interferer classification database to obtainautomated answers to performance problemsPrioritize issues/interferers with Wi-Fi impact analysis capabilityCustom signatures allow an instant response to interference problemsand provide independence on classification updatesSpectrum analyzer will troubleshoot WLAN issues caused by RFinterference at remote locations faster by avoiding costly ‘truck rolls

In-Building Spectrum AnalysisAirMagnet Spectrum ES (AM/A6001) is an affordable, professional-grade RFspectrum analyzer that can be added to OptiView XG to speed in-buildingcellular deployments. Rich spectrum graphs with next generation visualizationand enhanced in-field productivity features provide intuitive network visibilityneeded to validate and troubleshoot at every project stage. Scans frequenciesbetween 698 MHz & 2690 MHz (supports 2G/3G/4G). AirMagnet Spectrum ESincludes the industry's first automated classification and location of RFinterference sources, automated location-specific carrier and technologyspectrum scan setup which is needed to verify and troubleshoot at every stageof the project lifecycle. These features help ensure offload deploymennt andtroubleshooting are done quickly and correctly.

Survey and PlanningThe AirMagnet Survey and Planner option on the OptiView XG platform ensuresoptimal wireless network performance, security and compliance using theSurvey capabilities in the OptiView XG to collect "live and real-world" signal,performance, and spectrum data during wireless network site surveys, allowingthe IT staff to measure wireless network performance and RF coverage in themost scientific way possible to design the WLAN network for an optimal APcount, placement and configuration.

Design and deploy the most accurate indoor & outdoor wireless LANnetwork (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) correctly the first time and prevent costlyrework & IT complaintsCollect real-world data by performing unique true end-user experience(WLAN throughput, data rates, retries, losses) measurementsMinimize expensive wireless LAN performance impact due to RFinterference sources by performing simultaneous spectrum analysis in asingle walk through Simulate “What-if” scenarios to prevent or minimizecostly repeat survey walksSingle-click WLAN network readiness verification for Voice over WiFiand Location ServicesConfidently certify the network for any design/application requirementsusing customer-ready pass/fail assessment reportsCustomize reports enabling efficient hand over of results based onWLAN design/application requirements

AirMagnet WiFi Planner

Note: For additional information, see the detailed datasheets for AirMagnet Spectrum XT, AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and AirMagnet Survey and Planner.

Multiple RadiosMultiple internal radios on the OptiView XG eliminate the use of external WLAN adapters. Two 802.11a/b/g/n radios and one spectrum radioenable you to run AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and Spectrum XT together to view non-WLAN interference for every channel in the RF spectrum. Themultiple radios also let you run Spectrum Analyzer along with Survey Pro to detect interference during surveying, thereby eliminating a secondwalkthrough for interference sources. A 3x3 internal antenna array enables 3x3 MIMO use in 802.11n networks.

External AntennasWireless models of OptiView XG also feature one external directional antennaand one external omnidirectional antenna. The directional antenna can be usedto speed locating rogue devices (with Wi-Fi Analyzer) or interference sources(with Spectrum XT).

External Directional Antenna

Hot-Swappable Batteries Provide Hours of Mobile UseOptiView XG features two lithium-ion battery packs, which provide approximately two hours of wired and wireless use. Battery time can bedoubled by powering down XG's wired Network Under Test (NUT) ports and analysis hardware via the Power Control settings. Purchasing anadditional set of batteries and external charger (OPVXG-BATT-KIT) would provide the user with eight hours of wireless use – enough for a fullday of surveying and troubleshooting.
