4 Bench Test Units

4. Power up both AWE units. Initially the LEDs should appear as follows.
5. Configure the AWE units within your network. See Network Configuration, page 39 for information about
AWE Internet addresses. See Appendix C: Configuring a Simple Data Network, page 129 for information
about configuring simple peer-to-peer networks.
6. Create some network traffic to test the wireless link. For example, use ping or ftp put and get to
transfer a large test files, in both directions, across the link. The WIRE LED on the AWE indicates link file
transfer activity to the wired LAN. When the file transfer is done, ftp displays the size of the file and the
time it took to transfer the file. This information can be used to measure the data throughput of the
wireless link, and is very useful for troubleshooting.
7. Test all units in the network.
