11. Select Link Monitor Period and press Enter. The data field highlights.
12. Type a link monitor period (1) and press
Enter. Link Monitor starts as soon as a non-zero value is
entered in the field. (A setting of 1 means that 50% of all data is test data.)
13. View the link statistics. From the Main Menu select Link Monitor Display and press
Enter. The RF
Link Monitor Statistics window is displayed.
14. Check for BER = 0.0E+00 and Corr Power between 15 – 50 dB. If the Corr Power is <15 dB the
receive signal is probably too weak. If the power is >55 dB the receiving unit is probably saturated. See
Viewing Link Monitor Statistics, page 103 for more information about Link Monitor Statistics.
If you have problems, ensure that the unit is configured to its basic default settings (see Restoring Factory
Configurations, page 101) and reconfigure the unit, or contact Wi-LAN Technical Assistance Center.
15. When finished viewing link monitor statistics, disable Link Monitor to remove the test overhead data
from the RF link. Select RF Station Configuration from the Main Menu and press
Enter. The RF
Station Configuration menu is displayed.
16. Select Link Monitor Period and press
Enter. The field is highlighted.
17. Type 0 in the field and press
Enter. The link monitor test ends.
18. Press
Esc to exit.
To perform Link Monitor test from a remote unit
1. Connect the test PC to the Serial port of the remote unit. See General Equipment Setup for Performing RF
Tests, page 50.
2. Log in to the unit and go to the Main Menu.
