Systems and methods for network testing

摘要

A apparatus for network testing includes a network port adapted to receive data from the test network and one or more network interfaces of a wireless access point in operative communication with the network port. The one or more network interfaces generates a wireless local area network (WLAN) that communicates diagnostic information of the test network to a client device and causes the client device to display the diagnostic information.

1. An apparatus for network testing comprising:
a network port configured to receive data from the test network; one or more network interfaces of a wireless access point in operative communication with the network port; an internal power source; a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
automatically determine if the apparatus receives power over Ethernet (PoE) via the network port and automatically measure voltage from the test network if it is determined POE is received;selectively power the apparatus by the PoE responsive to determination the POE is received or by the internal power source responsive to determination that the POE is not received;generate a wireless local area network (WLAN) via the one or more network interfaces;advertise a service set identifier (SSID) over the WLAN to cause the client device to display the apparatus as a joinable network;generate a captive portal via the one or more network interfaces to detect wireless activity of the client device; andtransmit, by the captive portal, diagnostic information of the test network to the client device in response to detected wireless activity causing the client device to display the diagnostic information.
