Monitoring Wireless Performance E
The WaveLAN software for Apple PowerBook devices, does not
include diagnostic tools to validate the radio link quality.
However if your network also includes MS-Windows 95/98 or MS-
Windows NT v4.0 computers, you can use such stations to monitor
wireless communications between the other station and your
Apple PowerBook device.
■ For Independent Network environments, you should start the
WaveMANAGER/CLIENT IEEE program on a WaveLAN
computer running either the MS-Windows 95, 98 or Windows
NT operating system.
The Link Test mode of this utility enables you to analyze the
communications quality between the “Initiator” station and your
Apple PowerBook device (identified as the “Remote Station”).
■ In Infrastructure Networks, consult the LAN Administrator to
run the WaveMANAGER/AP tool.
The “Remote Link Test” of this utility enables the LAN
Administrator to analyze the communications quality between
a WavePOINT-II device (identified as the “Initiator” station) and
your Apple PowerBook (identified as the “Remote Station”).
