There are three types of AirMapper Surveys, which can be exported to AirMagnet Survey: Passive, Active using the WiFi Test adapter, Active using the 1x1 Management port adapter. The AirCheck G2 supports Passive and Active Surveys. The EtherScope nXG supports Passive, Active using the WiFi Test adapter and Active using the 1x1 Management port adapter.
In AirMagnet Survey, these surveys will be represented as follows:
Type | Icon | Adapter Name |
