Use the
Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure the parameters of the ping test.
Avg MU Signal Displays RF signal strength in dBm for the target MU. The number
in black represents signal information for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents signal information for the last hour.
Avg MU Noise Displays RF noise for the target MU. The number in black
represents noise for the last 30 seconds, the number in blue
represents noise for the last hour.
Avg MU SNR Displays the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for the target MU. The
Signal to Noise Ratio is an indication of overall RF performance on
your wireless network.
Avg Num of Retries Displays the average number of retries for the MU. The number in
black represents average retries for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents average retries for the last hour.
Dropped Packets Displays the percentage of packets the AP gave up as not received

Pkts Displays the percentage of undecryptable packets for the MU. The
number in black represents the percentage of undecryptable
packets for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
the percentage of undecryptable packets for the last hour.

WNMP pings. Therefore, target clients that are not Symbol MUs are
unable to respond to the echo test.
