AutoTest

Results can be set to automatically upload to Link-Live, ensuring documentation of troubleshooting results. Additional comments and images of the on-site environment can be added to the test results to facilitate better documentation and shorten root cause analysis during troubleshooting escalation.

Data Management

Link-Live acts as a powerful aggregator of test, discovery, analysis, and topology data from your NetAlly instruments.

• Automatically generate pre-made or custom reports into PDFs or CSV files to share with your team or clients.
• Available API enables seamless data integration between Link-Live and trouble-ticket or network management systems (NMS) to track performance trends or issues.
• Upload and store additional files, such as: documents, photos, screenshots, packet captures, and more.
• Automated problem notification via email can be enabled per instrument, by severity.

Link-Live provides a simple, fast, and easy way for anyone to generate and share WiFi or Bluetooth/BLE site surveys from site data gathered by EtherScope nXG, AirCheck G3, CyberScope, or CyberScope Air. Through powerful visualizations of the recorded data, centralized engineers can analyze test results from far-flung remote sites without travel.

Features of AirMapper™ Site Surveying

• Create visual heatmaps of key WiFi performance metrics including Signal Coverage, Noise, SNR, Co-Channel and Adjacent Channel Interference (CCI,ACI), AP Coverage, Data Rates, TX/RX MCS, Beacon Overhead, Active Signal Strength, and Active Tx Rate.
• Simplify the process of validating new installations or locating rogue devices by automatically triangulating the position of Access Points on a floor plan.
• Bluetooth and BLE location-based analysis through the use of heat maps.
• Project management feature automatically pushes pre-configured floor plans to tester units.
• Supports both passive and active WiFi site surveys to gather critical site metrics and validate client experience and roaming on a single walkthrough.
• Collaborate – easily visualize and share survey data through Link-Live; no additional licensing cost enables free sharing and collaboration with remote teams or clients.
• Pass WiFi survey data to AirMagnet Survey PRO for more advanced analysis, predictive planning, and reporting.
  
  

InSites Intelligence

InSites simplifies the process of WiFi network validation and troubleshooting by automatically comparing the AirMapper Site Survey or WiFi Discovery data collected on-site to a set of pre-defined (user customizable) thresholds, providing a visual Pass or Fail. With InSites, there is no need to be an expert to analyze WiFi heatmaps and identify wireless network problems. InSites intelligence in Link-Live makes it easy for anyone to quickly identify WiFi network problems.

Link-Live allows you to view information on your currently claimed testers’, change the unit’s name and description, add labels, and modify email addresses that receive test results. Allowing you to keep track of different testers, assign email addresses to get live updates of testing performed from certain units, auto-label results from a unit, change the name of each unit to best track who has been performing tests, and optimize collaboration efforts.

• Configure and push profiles to units in the field to ensure consistent test results.
• Claim units into different organizations to track device usage and manage role permissions.
• Remotely update software for all your units using Link-Live.
• Simplifies management of AirMapper projects by automatically pushing pre-configured floor plans to units in the field.

Essential functions are available to all users for results storage, management, and reporting.

Additional AllyCare-enabled features are only available to customers with AllyCare Product support on their unit, such as advanced heat map visualizations, advanced topology mapping, and web remote control. For information about AllyCare, click here.
