Initial Setup

Create a LANforge Virtual Access Point (VAP).

Create a LANforge station on each radio you wish to test.

• Ensure that the stations can authenticate to the VAP.

Generate Layer-3 traffic from the VAP to each of the stations.

• Ensure that the traffic is routed through a variable attenuator which is visible in the LANforge Attenuators tab.

Run these commands from ./src/:

Vary Attenuation, Bandwidth, Channel, and Antenna, and collect signal data in ../json:

1. Modify the options at the top of scheduler.sh to fit your setup.
2. In the following, replace the IP address, radio name, and AP name with those of your test system. Here, "75" is the number of attenuation levels, i.e. domain(attenuation) = [20 dB, 20+75 dB).
3. ./scheduler.sh 75 localhost 1.1.wiphy6 1.1.vap0036

Parse json data of one attenuation-sweep instance into output.csv:

1. git clone https://github.com/greearb/lanforge-scripts ~/lanforge-scripts
2. Run python3 ~/lanforge-scripts/py-scripts/update-dependencies.py with your python virtual environment activated.
3. python3 parser2.py –test_dir ../json –csv ../output.csv –bandwidth 20 –channel 36 –antenna 0

Process one attenuation-sweep instance into PNG format:

1. mkdir -p ../html/PNGs
2. python3 processing.py –csv ../output.csv –png_dir ../html/PNGs –bandwidth 20 –channel 36 –antenna 0 –path_loss_2 '28.74' –path_loss_5 '33.87'

Generate all PNGs from JSON data at once:

1. mkdir -p ../html/PNGs
2. Modify the options at the top of gen_all_pngs.sh to fit your setup.
3. ./gen_all_pngs.sh "../json" "../html/PNGs"

Generate an HTML report from all available PNGs:

1. Modify the options at the top of gen_html.sh to fit your setup.
2. ./gen_html.sh "./PNGs" "../html/Test_Report.html"
