The Diagnostics tool may be utilized to test many functions of your WiLife system. The tool provides information in a timely and organized fashion to assist in isolating potential issues, whether they originate from the WiLife product or other sources. The tool comes with a reporting feature to easily transmit the results to a WiLife support technician. The tests are also readily identified as either successful or problematic with the help of red or green checkmarks to the left of each description.
