3.4.4 Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity
Verify the access point’s link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol
(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. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola MUs. Only
use a Motorola MU to test connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an access point:
1. Select Status and Statistics - > MU Stats from the menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the MU Stats Summary screen.
3. Define the following ping test parameters:
4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the MU address specified.
Refer to the Number of Responses to assess the number of responses from the target MU
versus the number of pings transmitted by the access point. Use the ratio of packets sent
versus packets received to assess the link quality between MU and the access point.
Click the Ok button to exit the Echo Test screen and return to the MU Stats Summary screen.
With basic access point and associated MU connectivity verified, the access point is now
ready to operate as defined within this guide or have its more advanced features configured.
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same
ESSID as the access point. Since WPA2/CCMP has been configured for
the access point, the MU also needs to be configured for WPA2/CCMP
and use the same keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the access point
before testing for connectivity.
Station Address The station address is the IP address of the target MU. Refer to the
MU Stats Summary screen for associated MU information.
Number of ping Specify the number of ping packets to transmit to the target MU.
The default is 100.
Packet Length Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target
MU during the ping test. The default is 100 bytes.
