The execution modes are the following:
Test centric (default execution mode)
Access point centric
The execution modes are described in the following subchapters.
17.4.1 Test centric test profiles
Test centric test profile means that individual active tests are run against each access point
before test profile proceeds to next test. This is the default execution mode.
Consider a test profile consisting of the following elements:
Ping (active test)
TCP download (active test)
TCP upload (active test)
Managed AP scan (passive test)
Ping (active test)
MOS uplink (active test)
MOS downlink (active test)
Noise monitor (passive test)
For example, if the monitoring station is monitoring access points AP1, AP2 and AP3, the
execution order of the test would be the following:
