Figure 4-108 Symbol Status – Ping Test
The ping test can be used to test the radio’s ability to send and receive packets to another device,
such as an access point. To start the test, enter the IP address of the desired network device (or
select it from the pull down list) and select the packet size. Click the Start Test button. The
statistics section displays the send and receive statistics. The lower part of the screen displays the
signal level and the percentage of the data transmitted at the indicated rate (1, 2, 5.5 or 11Mb).
To stop the test, click the Stop Test button.
Figure 4-109 Symbol Status – AP’s
This screen displays all AP’s known to the radio card and their signal strength.
Roaming can be controlled by right clicking on the icon to the left of the MAC address of the AP.
After right clicking on the icon, select “Set Mandatory” to prohibit the radio from associating with
a different access point. When this option is selected, an M appears above the icon.
Selecting “Set Roaming” allows the radio to associate with any access point with a better signal.
