The OneTouch G2 analyzer does not initiate any link, user test, or infrastructure test activity until you run AutoTest.
1. Power the Analyzer
Connect the AC adapter to charge the battery if necessary.
2. Connect to the Network
Connect the network under test to Port A (Item  in Figure 1). You can use the RJ-45 Ethernet jack for copper cable, or an SFP inserted in the SFP receptacle for fiber cable.
3. Run AutoTest
Tap the AutoTest button (located at the lower-right corner of the HOME screen), or press the AutoTest key (located on the front

Wired Analysis

During wired analysis, the OneTouch G2 discovers devices in the broadcast domain or connected to APs in the broadcast domain, the server specified in the DNS test, the servers specified in user tests, and additional devices, through passive discovery.
When the analyzer is connected to a trunk port and is not configured for a VLAN, all devices on the trunk are discovered. When the analyzer is connected to a trunk port and is configured for a VLAN, only devices in the same VLAN are discovered.
Devices are categorized and displayed on the WIRED ANALYSIS screen. A summary view of hosts, access devices, and servers provides an overview of devices on the network along with relevant details such as IP address, MAC address, switch slot and port, utilization, and problems.

Wi-Fi Analysis

The OneTouch AT G2 analyzer’s Wi-Fi analysis consists of discovery and analysis of 802.11 networks, access points, clients, and channels being used. It can also identify, classify, and locate non-802.11 interfering devices.
Tools are available for troubleshooting client connectivity. The analyzer supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac technologies, operating in the
2.4-GHz and/or 5-GHz bands. Wi-Fi must be enabled for Wi-Fi analysis to begin.
