WaveRunnerTM

Getting Started Guide

Welcome to WaveRunner

Thank you for purchasing the Fluke Networks

WaveRunner wireless network analyzer.

WaveRunner, the newest member of the Fluke

Networks handheld tools family, brings true handheld

operation and ease-of-use to wireless LAN tools. Unlike

laptop-based solutions, WaveRunner is designed to

work wherever the wireless LAN network extends: in

the conference room, on the production floor or at the

outdoor receiving dock. Whether you’re detecting

rogue access points, designing a wireless LAN

deployment, verifying a recent installation or

troubleshooting wireless connectivity problems,

WaveRunner gives you the vision you need to manage

your wireless network.

Before You Start

Note

The WaveRunner consists of an HP iPAQ, a

Fluke Networks Wireless LAN PC card, and

the WaveRunner software. The original HP

iPAQ software and operating system have

been replaced.

Caution

WaveRunner is equipped with a wireless

network access card allowing use of

channels 1 through 14.

Channel selection based on the country or

a custom configuration is an easily

modified configuration accessed in the

WaveRunner Setup menu (Setup | General

Settings). Based on this information, only

those channels that are allowed for the

selected country are displayed as legal

channels. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY

TO USE ONLY LEGAL CHANNELS.

Note

In the United States, the FCC allows use of

channels 1 through 11. United States users

need to be aware that FCC regulations within

the United States does not permit use of

Channels 12 through 14, and use of these

channels is illegal.
