Measures reported by PEPAPStateTest

In a wireless local area network (WAN), an access point is a station that transmits and receives data (sometimes referred to as a transceiver). The access point connects users to other users within the network and also can serve as the point of interconnection between the WLAN and a fixed wire network. Each access point can serve multiple users within a defined network area. If multiple access points are not available for the users to connect, then the users may not be able to connect to the WAN. To avoid such severe hardship, administrators should continuously monitor the access points round the clock. The PEPAPStateTest test helps administrators in this regards!

This test auto discovers the access points of the target router and reports the current status of each access point. Using this test, administrators can instantly find out the access point that is currently offline.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each WAN that is connected to the target router.

Descriptor:WAN

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this access point.   The values that this measure can report and the numeric values they indicate have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Offline 0
Online 3

Note:

By default, this measure can report the Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the current status of each access point. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
