Running the Ping/Link Test
Running the Ping/Link Test
You can use the ping or link test to evaluate the link to and from an associated wireless device. The ping
or link test provides two modes of operation:
a. Perform a test using a specified number of packets and then display the test results.
b. Perform a test that continuously operates until you stop the test and then displays the test results.
Perform these steps to activate the ping or link test:
Step 1 Use your web browser to access the access point browser interface.
Step 2 Click Association and the main association page appears.
Step 3 Click the MAC address of an associated wireless device and the Statistics page for that device appears.
Step 4 Click the Ping/Link Test tab and the Ping/Link Test page appears.
Step 5 If you want to specify the number of packets to use in the test, perform these steps:
a. Enter the desired number of packets in the Number of Packets field
b. Enter the desired packet size in the Packet Size field.
c. Click Start.
Step 6 If you want to use a continuous test, perform these steps:
a. Enter the desired packet size in the Packet Size field.
b. Click Start to activate the test.
c. When desired, click Stop to stop the test.
When the test has completed, the test results are displayed at the bottom of the page. You should check
for any lost packets that can indicate a possible problem with the wireless link. For best results, you
should also perform this test several times.
