Cambium Test Reporting Tools 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which cnMaestro dashboard widget allows real-time visualization of active client counts across all managed access points?
- Client Count Widget (Correct answer)
- Alarm Summary Widget
- Device Inventory Widget
- Firmware Status Widget
Correct answer: Client Count Widget
The Client Count Widget provides a live view of the number of clients currently associated across all APs in the managed network.
Question 2: In cnMaestro reporting, what does 'RF quality' typically measure?
- The number of clients associated to an AP
- Signal strength, SNR, and MCS index indicating link health (Correct answer)
- The AP's CPU utilization percentage
- The number of SSID broadcasts per minute
Correct answer: Signal strength, SNR, and MCS index indicating link health
RF quality is a composite metric encompassing signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and modulation scheme to indicate the health of wireless links.
Question 3: When using cnMaestro's Top N report feature, what is the default sorting criteria?
- Alphabetical by device name
- By highest throughput or usage metric (Correct answer)
- By device serial number
- By most recent firmware version
Correct answer: By highest throughput or usage metric
Top N reports in cnMaestro default to ranking devices by the highest usage or performance metric, such as throughput or client count.
Question 4: Which Cambium reporting tool would an administrator use to identify access points with the highest number of client disconnections?
- Throughput Report
- Client Disconnect Report (Correct answer)
- Firmware Audit Report
- Channel Utilization Report
Correct answer: Client Disconnect Report
The Client Disconnect Report highlights APs experiencing abnormal client drop rates, helping pinpoint RF or configuration issues.
Question 5: What role does the cnMaestro API play in an organization's reporting workflow?
- It replaces the web GUI for all report generation
- It allows external systems to programmatically retrieve network data and reports (Correct answer)
- It limits report access to administrators only
- It converts reports from CSV to PDF automatically
Correct answer: It allows external systems to programmatically retrieve network data and reports
The cnMaestro REST API enables third-party systems like BI platforms to pull network data programmatically for custom reporting.
Question 6: In cnMaestro, what action is required before a custom report can be saved for future use?
- Export it as a PDF
- Name and save it as a report template (Correct answer)
- Share it with all administrator accounts
- Schedule it for immediate delivery
Correct answer: Name and save it as a report template
Administrators must name and save a configured report as a template in cnMaestro before it can be reused or scheduled.
Question 7: Which metric in a cnMaestro Channel Utilization Report indicates potential RF congestion on an access point?
- Low SNR values below 10 dB
- High channel utilization consistently above 80% (Correct answer)
- Uplink throughput exceeding 100 Mbps
- Client count above 50 per AP
Correct answer: High channel utilization consistently above 80%
Channel utilization consistently above 80% signals that the RF medium is heavily occupied, which can cause performance degradation.
