Running the Ping Test

Running the Ping Test

You can use the ping test to evaluate the link to and from an associated wireless device. The ping test provides two modes of operation:

a.Performs a test using a specified number of packets and then displays the test results.

b.Performs a test that continuously operates until you stop the test and then displays the test results. Follow these steps to activate the ping 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, follow these steps:

a.Enter the number of packets in the Number of Packets field

b.Enter the packet size in the Packet Size field and click Start. Step 6 If you want to use a continuous test, follow these steps:

a.Enter the packet size in the Packet Size field.

b.Click Start to activate the test.

c.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 problem with the wireless link. For best results, you should also perform this test several times.

Resetting to the Default Configuration

If you forget the password that allows you to configure the access point, you may need to completely reset the configuration. You can use the MODE button on the access point or the web-browser interface.

Note The following steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.

For additional information on access point default behavior, refer to the “Default IP Address Behavior” section on page 3-4and the “Default SSID and Radio Behavior” section on page 3-4.
