Below is some information on both applications taken from www.airmagnet.com for more information please go to www.airmagnet.com.      WiFi Analyzer   Anytime, Anywhere, WLAN Monitoring and Troubleshooting AirMagnet's WiFi Analyzer is the industry's most popular mobile field tool for troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi networks. WiFi Analyzer helps IT staff make sense of end-user complaints to quickly resolve performance problems, while automatically detecting security threats and other network vulnerabilities. Although compact, WiFi Analyzer has many of the feature-rich qualities of a dedicated, policy-driven wireless LAN monitoring system. Automatically Detect Rogues and Network Vulnerabilities     WiFi Analyzer automatically identifies hundreds of performance problems, such as 802.11n mis-configurations, 802.11b/g conflicts, 802.11e problems, and QoS, as well as dozens of wireless intrusions and hacking strategies, including Rogue devices, Denial-of-Service attacks, Dictionary Attacks, Faked APs, RF Jamming, "Stumbler" tools, and many more. WiFi Analyzer also offers a convenient "Find Tool" that enables you to quickly track down rogue APs and non-complying devices that compromise network security. Also use Find Tool to align signals between antennas to quickly optimize reception in line-of-sight bridging.   Lockdown Security Policies     WiFi Analyzer enables you to set detailed security policies for all devices in your network. Designate your encryption and authentication methods then monitor your wireless LAN to check all devices for compliance with those policies. Also validate that the encryption methods themselves function correctly over the WLAN. Establish an even higher level of organized security by designating a list of approved APs for client access, and monitoring for exposed wireless stations, ad-hoc devices, and other vulnerabilities.   Perform Live, Interactive Network Tests     In addition to the issues that Analyzer automatically locates for you, a suite of active troubleshooting tools are available at your fingertips to help you quickly pinpoint network problems — 802.11n mis-configurations, RF interferences, traffic/infrastructure overloads, hardware failures, connectivity issues and more. Test connections with traditional tools such as DHCP, ping, and traceroute or use AirMagnet's Diagnostic Tool to view the step-by-step progress of a connection between a client and AP to pinpoint exactly where the process has broken down. Run AP performance tests to identify mismatched settings in the network, coverage, multi-path interference, jitter and roaming. The WLAN Throughput Simulator and the Device Throughput Calculator tools help users make that critical purchase decision on how they can phase 802.11n devices into their existing 802.11a/b/g network.   Monitor 802.11n Networks     WiFi Analyzer identifies and classifies all 802.11n capable devices in the network (including differentiating between standards-compliant and pre-standard 802.11n devices). It supports monitoring for 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels and also detects and classifies higher data rates used by the 802.11n devices. Using the Analyzer, users can classify/decode Non-HT and HT format traffic and physically locate 802.11n rogue devices operating in the environment (which are often invisible to non-802.11n analyzers). The Analyzer shows how to get true 11n performance that rivals what 11n can do in theory and enables a smooth migration into 802.11n for the user by recognizing and resolving conflicts between new 802.11n devices and legacy a/b/g devices. AirMagnet recommends the use of the AirMagnet 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless PC Card for monitoring and troubleshooting 802.11n networks.    Advanced Features with WiFi Analyzer PRO   AirMagnet WiFi PRO software version contains all the functionality of the basic WiFi Analyzer version plus an additional set of features tailored to the needs of the wireless expert, such as: Support for 200+ 802.11a channels Integration with AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer* 4.9 GHZ (Public Safety Band) monitoring Session sharing between two WiFi Analyzers Advanced Session Reporting and Compliance Reporting * AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer sold seperately   Multiple Form Factor and Adapter Support   AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer can be installed on a variety of platforms including Windows-based Laptops, Tablet PCs, Apple® MacBook® Pro and Ultra Mobile PCs. UMPC support enables end-users and resellers — for the first time — to monitor, audit and troubleshoot all aspects of the WLAN with a PC that can fit in their pocket. It gives users the flexibility of walking about the physical premises to audit and troubleshoot enterprise Wi-Fi networks using a light-weight handheld solution. AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer is supported on the OQO Model 02/e2 UMPC. AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer is compatible with many external and built-in wireless LAN adapters.   Survey Pro   Overview Today's wireless service providers, managed-service providers, and network infrastructure vendors all consider site surveys a mandatory and vital part of the wireless LAN deployment process. AirMagnet has addressed these requirements with the industry's most accurate WLAN planning solution. AirMagnet Survey PROAn advanced version of the standard Survey software for wireless experts. Upgrades are available for Survey Standard Customers who want to move up to the Survey PRO version.     Perform Active and Passive Surveys   During a passive site survey, AirMagnet Survey automatically records RF data from all APs and stations in the area. This produces an excellent overview of the entire wireless environment including sources of noise and any wireless signals from neighboring networks. During an active site survey, AirMagnet Survey associates itself to a specific AP and exchanges data to emulate an end-user. This enables you to map out exactly how real-world clients will perform at various locations taking into account the multipath at that location in terms of connection data rates, retry rates and packet loss. Similar to the Active Survey, users can perform an Iperf Survey —open-source software tool for performance measurement— to measure real-world uplink and downlink network performance. At the end of each site survey, you will name and save your survey data for later analysis and planning, including locating stations on the map.   View Combined Survey Results     When it's time to analyze results, AirMagnet Survey can automatically merge any number of your active and passive site surveys to provide the most accurate, data-rich analysis possible. A dynamic map view gives you instant insight to the potential performance of your network. In one click, you can change the map view to display signal, noise, frame speeds, retry rates, packet loss, etc. Two filtering modes enable you to view and analyze site data by channel or SSID. You can also filter by individual AP selections to focus your view.   Perform Accurate Network Simulations     The live data collected from your active and passive surveys enables you to simulate and measure network performance in the most scientific way possible—with the most accurate depiction of a real—world user experience. You can relocate APs on the map and adjust AP configurations—such as Power, Channel, SSID, and Noise Floor—to simulate changes in the network, which appear on your refreshed map. Drill-down on specific APs to analyze performance statistics, then tweak and adjust your simulations until you achieve optimal settings. You can also take an existing survey and view exactly how another adapter would view the survey environment. The WLAN Throughput Simulator tool helps optimize the network deployment by capturing the existing infrastructure environment and calculates the network throughput and overhead under user-specified conditions. It also allows the user to simulate the addition of new APs or stations with user specified capabilities and view their impact on network performance.Note: 802.11n device simulation and the WLAN Throughput Simulator tool are available in Survey PRO ONLY.       System Requirements Minimum System Requirements: Expand All | Close All The installation and operation of AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer (software-only) requires separate hardware with one of the following minimum system requirements below. » Laptop/Notebook PC Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Business/Ultimate (SP1), or XP™ Professional (SP3)Note: Use Windows XP (SP2) if AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer is installed and used as a stand-alone application on the same laptop PC Intel® Pentium® M 1.6 GHz (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.00 GHz or higher recommended) 1 GB memory (2 GB recommended) for Windows XP™. 2 GB or higher required for Windows Vista™ 200 MB free hard disk space A CardBus, ExpressCard slot, USB port, or Mini PCI slot (whichever applicable) An AirMagnet-supported wireless network adapter » Tablet PC Microsoft® Windows Tablet PC Edition 2005 (SP3)Note: Use Windows XP (SP2) if AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer is installed and used as a stand-alone application on the same laptop PC Intel® Pentium® M 1.6 GHz (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or higher recommended) 1 GB memory (2 GB recommended) for Windows XP™. 2 GB or higher required for Windows Vista™ 200 MB free hard disk space A CardBus, ExpressCard slot, USB port, or Mini PCI slot (whichever applicable) An AirMagnet-supported wireless network adapter » Apple® MacBook® Pro MAC OS X Leopard™ [running Windows XP™ PRO (SP3) using Boot Camp®] Intel®-based 1.26 GHz or higher (1.6 GHz or higher recommended) 1 GB memory (2 GB recommended) 200 MB free hard disk space A CardBus, ExpressCard slot, USB port, or Mini PCI slot (whichever applicable) Built-in Atheros-based Airport Extreme 802.11n wireless adapter or any AirMagnet-supported wireless network adapter (whichever applicable) » Ultra Mobile PC OQO Model 02/e2 "Better" & "Best" configurations Microsoft® Windows XP™ Professional (SP3)Note: AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer Adapter is not supported on the Ultra Mobile PC platform; Model e2 is for international sales only.
