Pinging Individual MUs
The Altitude 35xx can verify its link with a Motorola MU by sending WNMP ping packets to the
associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure the parameters of the ping
test.
NOTE
An echo test initiated from the Altitude 35xx MU Stats Summary screen uses WNMP pings. Therefore,
target clients that are not Motorola MUs are unable to respond to the echo test.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an Altitude 35xx:
1 Select Status and Statistics > MU Stats from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
2 Select the Echo Test
button from within the MU Stats Summary screen
3 Specify the following ping test parameters.
4 Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the station address specified.
Refer to the Number of Responses parameter to assess the number of responses from the target MU
versus the number of pings transmitted by the Altitude 35xx. Use the ratio of packets sent versus
packets received to assess the link quality between MU and the Altitude 35xx
5 Click the Ok button to exit the Echo Test screen and return to the MU Stats Summary screen.
