Performing Pings and Link Tests
Use the ping and link test buttons to perform pings and link tests on the device. If
the device is associated to the access point through which you reached the Station
page, the link test button and packet fields appear. If the device is not associated
with the access point, only the ping button and packet fields appear.

Follow these steps to ping the device described on the Station page:
Step 1 To customize the size and number of packets sent during the ping, enter the
number of packets and size of the packets in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size
fields.
Step 2 Click Ping.
The ping runs using the values in the Number of Pkts. and Pkt. Size fields, and a
ping window appears listing the test results. To run the ping again, click Test
Again. Figure 9-3 shows a ping window.
