Step5 Click the Ping/Link Test tab and the Ping/Link Test page appears.

Step6 If you want to specify the number of packets to use in the test, follow these steps:

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

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

c. Click Start. The test automatically stops when all packets are utilized.

Step7 If you want to use a continuous test, follow these steps:

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

b. Click Start to activate the test.

c. Click Stop to stop the test.

When the test stops, the test results are displayed at the bottom of the page. You should check for lost

packets that might indicate a problem with the wireless link. For best results, you should perform this

test several times.

Resetting to the Default Configuration

If you forget the password that allows you to configure the access point, y ou 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 6-4 and the “Default SSID and Radio Behavior” section on page 6-4.

Using the MODE Button

Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory

defaults using the MODE button:

Step1 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the

access point.

Step2 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.

Step3 Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 2 to 3 seconds), and release the

button.
