Performing a Link Test

Follow these steps to perform a link test between the access point and the device described on the Station page:

Step 1 To customize the size and number of packets sent during the link test, enter the number of packets and size of the packets in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields.

Step 2 Click Link Test.

The link test runs using the values in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields.

Note If you need to stop the link test before the test is complete, click Stop Test.

A results window appears listing the test results. To run the test again, click Test Again. To run a continuous link test, click Continuous Test. Figure 9-4shows a link test results window.
