4 - 10 Aironet Wireless Client
Running a Remote Linktest (Remote)
Use the remote option to run a multicast link test between a client node
associated in the infrastructure and its parent Access Point. You will be
prompted for the address of the client node. A broadcast request will be
made. The Aironet Wireless Client with the associated node will run the
linktest and return the results which will be displayed to the operator
locally.
Remote linktest from 00409610d258 to 0040961064de
Sent 100 of 100 512 byte packets, Destination received
90, Source received 90
Specifying the Target Address (Destination)
The destination option is used to indicate the target node address for the
link test. You may enter an infrastructure address or the string “any”. If
you select “any”, the Aironet Wireless Client will direct the test to the
Access Point to which the unit is associated. If you enter a infrastructure
address it may only be used for the remote or unicast linktests.
Setting the Packet Size and Count (Size, Count)
The size and count options are used to indicate the size and number of
packets to be sent. The default values are 100 packets of 512 bytes each.
Both the size and the count can be changed. The packet size may be set
from 24 to 1500 bytes and the count of the number of packets to transmit
may be set from 1 to 999 packets.
When running the link test, use the highest data bit rate possible to test
the reliability of your data bit rate and frequency combination. The more
packets you send and the larger the packet size, the more accurate the
test.
NOTE: Multiple large packets will increase test time.
