Collecting Debugging Information
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
When you find the Altai AP work abnormally, you can follow below items to make a
first check if AP have a issue, then can report to us.
 Check the power LED on the unit and make sure there is no power failure issue.
 Check the Ethernet LED on the unit for any networking issue.
 Connect to console and check if it is still working. A working console implies the
system is still running. Or it is busy on something and giving slow responses to the
commands
 Check the network connection status with “ping” tool. Try to ping the network
gateway,
 ping devices inside the network and ping the internet with an IP address or with a host
name.
 Check if the radio is still working by scanning the wireless beacons.
