Viewing Errors (Errors)
The errors option is used to view the Radio Error statistics that may
have occurred during the link test. See Chapter 9 “Viewing Statistics”.
Setting the Automatic Link Test Mode (Autotest)
The autotest option is used to control the automatic running of a link
test whenever a repeater associates to its parent. The test will use the
currently configured test parameters which, by default, runs a test to the
parent node.
n Off: An automatic test is never run.
n Once: Only one test is run the first time the unit associates to a par-
ent after powering on.
n Always: The test is run each time the unit associates to a parent.
During an automatic link test the three indicators on the unit will turn
green in a cyclic pattern to indicate a test is in progress. At the end of
the test, the indicators will be set to a solid pattern for 4 seconds to indi-
cate the test results. The particular pattern that will be displayed
depends on the percentage of packets lost during the test as shown in
