Step 4. Test network connectivity across a WirelessGRID link
After verifying that both
bridges and their respective test stations can communicate via
Ethernet, and confirming new WirelessGRID bridge list entries were saved, the following
ping tests should be done.
NOTE
After rebooting bridges, the radio link should be
established within one minute. If TPC and DFS are
enabled, this process may take up to two minutes.

Station A
To verify network connectivity across a
WirelessGRID link, you should use test
station A to do the following:
Ping 192.168.1.70 -t to ping bridge A
Ping 192.168.1.71 -t to ping bridge B across
the wireless radio link
Ping 192.168.1.72 -t to ping test station B
across the wireless link
If all ping tests are successful, then you
have a properly configured WirelessGRID
link. Go to Step 5.
Troubleshooting tips for pinging across a
link:
If you do not get a ping across the two end
points from test station A to test station B;
You may have a power problem
- Verify that each bridge is connected
to a power source with the proper
input voltage.
You may have an Ethernet network cable
problem at one end
- Verify all physical connections. You
should have an Ethernet link light on the switch, router, or computer connected to
each bridge.
