Organize & Filter Results
- Manage multiple teams or clients by creating different “organizations” to organize test result feeds. (No limit on the number of organizations or test results, and no additional licensing cost enables free sharing and collaboration with as many remote team members or clients as needed.)
- Add labels and folders for grouping related tests and future ease of access.
- Prioritize tasks easily by filtering results by level of severity and date. Severity is automatically detected by Link-Live based on errors detected.
- Filter through results by unit to track tester utility or team productivity.
AutoTest Results Upload & Annotation
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 result to facilitate better documentation and shorten root cause analysis during troubleshooting escalation.
AirMapper™ Site Surveying
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 or AirCheck G3. Through powerful visualizations of the recorded data, centralized engineers can analyze test results from far-flung remote sites without travel.
- 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.
- Automatically identify common WiFi network problems using the InSites™ intelligence in Link-Live.
- 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, planning, and reporting.

Device Management
Link-Live acts as a repository for the latest firmware for NetAlly Testers that are under AllyCare to download/update.
- Configure and push profiles to testing devices to ensure all test settings are uniform during network testing.
- Claim units into different organizations to track device usage and manage role permissions.
- Remotely update software for all your units using Link-Live.
- Project management feature in AirMapper automatically pushes pre-configured floor plans to tester units.
