31 Evaluating wireless network quality
The network evaluation module is not available in WSM basic version, and is only supported by
Comware-based ACs and APs.
The network evaluation module enables you to evaluate the quality and operating status of AC + fit
AP WLANs and locate problems based on evaluation statistics and results.
Network evaluation includes the following parts:
• Evaluation task—You need to create an evaluation task first and set the evaluation object,
evaluation date, and data collection time. After you create an evaluation task, WSM periodically
collects data from the AC within the data collection time.
• Evaluation report—After data collection is completed, WSM summarizes the collected data,
evaluates the APs and clients based on the predefined thresholds, and generates evaluation
reports.
Configuring an evaluation task
CAUTION:
When creating and executing an evaluation task, do not change the location views associated with the
evaluation task because evaluation data correctness cannot be ensured and the evaluation task might
fail.
Based on evaluation objects, evaluation tasks can be divided into the following types:
• Location view-based evaluation task—Evaluates the WLAN in an area, such as a floor in a
building.
• AC-based evaluation task—Evaluates a WLAN where fit APs are managed by the same AC.
Viewing the evaluation task List
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select WLAN Manager > Network Evaluation. The Task List page
displays all evaluation tasks.
Task List contents
{
Task Name—Name of the evaluation task.
{
Task Type—Evaluation task type, Location View or AC .
{
Task Status—State of the evaluation task. Options are:
− Waiting—An evaluation task is in Waiting state from the time when the task is created to
an hour before the first data collection starts.
− Collecting—An evaluation task is in Collecting state one hour before the configured data
collection start time is reached until 15 minutes after the configured data collection end
time is reached.
