Diagnostic Tools for Mac OS 9

The pcm340PPC client utility provides tools that help you assess the performance of the client adapter

and other devices on the wireless network. ACU diagnostic tools perform the following functions:

• Display your client adapter’s current status and configured settings

• Run a link test to assess the operation of the RF link between your client adapter and its associated

access point

• Run a link test to assess the operation of the wired link between your access point and a wired device

• Obtain information about local access points (configured for broadcast SSID)

To view your client adapter’s status, select the Status tab on the advanced properties screen. The Status

Screen appears (see Figure 7-1).
