8. Start a telnet session on the 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.
