Pinging individual clients
The Mobility 5181 Access Point can verify its link with an Client by sending WNMP ping packets to
the associated Client. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target Client and configure the
parameters of the ping test.
NOTE
An echo test initiated from the Mobility 5181 Access Point Client Stats Summary screen uses WNMP
pings. Therefore, target clients that are not Brocade Clients are unable to respond to the echo test.
To ping a specific Client to assess its connection with an Mobility 5181 Access Point:
1. Select Status and Statistics - > Client Stats from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the Client Stats Summary screen
3. Specify the following ping test parameters.
4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the station address specified.
Refer to the Number of Responses parameter to assess the number of responses from the
target Client versus the number of pings transmitted by the Mobility 5181 Access Point. Use
the ratio of packets sent versus packets received to assess the link quality between Client and
the Mobility 5181 Access Point
