Link Test (802.11b APs Only)

This tab displays information on the quality of the wireless link to clients
and other 802.11b APs in the Wireless Distribution System. During a Link
Test, the Access Point and the selected device exchange a series of
packets to test the strength of the connection. The devices start by
exchanging packets at the 11 Mbits/sec rate but fall back to the slower
rates if necessary.

NOTE:
This feature is not available for an 802.11a or 802.11b/g AP. Also,
this feature is not available if you are using an
Avaya 802.11a/b Card or a non-Avaya Wireless client with an
802.11b AP.

Follow these steps to perform a Link Test:

1. Open the Remote Link Test screen.

2. Click Explore.

Result: A list of detected stations will appear. If the list does not
appear automatically, click Refresh.
