Default Value

none

Description

This testvar specifies the URL of a CDRouter NTA3000 Adaura Tech RF Attenuator appliance.

The attenuator must be connected and configured as documented in the setup guide.

If this testvar is not specified, tests which require the attenuator (e.g. Wi-Fi Range vs Rate) will be skipped.

If this testvar is specified, connectivity will be confirmed and a default attenuation will set during start.

If the connection to the attenuator is lost during a run, CDRouter retries reconnecting for up to rfAttenuatorTimeout seconds before giving up. A test that needs the attenuator while it is unreachable fails with an error naming the attenuator and the connection that was lost; tests run after the connection comes back are unaffected.

For more information, see the CDRouter Wi-Fi Range vs Rate (RvR) User Guide
