8. Start a telnet session on the mobile station to the
Aironet Access Point. Depending on the system in
use, the telnet application may have logging and
note taking capability. If so, enable these modes.
9. Navigate through the Aironet Access Point menu to
the link test option. See the appropriate Access
Point Technical Reference Manual for more infor-
mation.
10. Set up the test options to accurately model the
system.
11. Set the test for continuous operation with a
1 second delay.
12. Begin traversing the area around the Aironet
Access Point to determine its coverage. If logging
and notes are not possible with the telnet applica-
tion, maintain a manual log.
The telnet session packets are interspersed with test
packets which may have the effect of increasing the round
trip time for some frames. The link test will show progress
changes as the test is being conducted.
The first time delivery success rate for the packet may not
be important for transaction based systems and can result
in a slightly larger range. Using longer packets can provide
some degree of safety margin in the range estimate.
NOTE: Roundtrip time will be effected by the telnet
session maintenance.
