Intelligent Diagnosis

Context

When a fault occurs on a WLAN, you can use the Intelligent Diagnosis function to diagnose WLAN devices and the network and rectify the fault accordingly. For faults that you cannot rectify by yourself, export the diagnosis information and logs, then contact technical support personnel.

Only the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, and S6720-HI support Intelligent Diagnosis.
