Link Quality Test Shortcuts
The file get command syntax has been extended to simplify link quality testing.
The file get command, with no parameters, expands to file get <gatewayIP>
buywavc null null, where <gatewayIP> is the gateway IP address for the unit. The
operator is prompted for the password. This is the short form for the link quality test at an EUM
where its gateway is the CCU.
The file get <ip> command, with one parameter, expands to file get <ip>
buywavc null null, where <ip> is the IP address or EUM ID of the unit to get the file
from. It prompts you for the password. This is the short form for the link quality test at a CCU or
an EUM where the gateway is not the CCU (such as in Switched Ethernet mode).
Address Resolution by EUM ID
If you know the EUM ID of a station, several commands resolve for the IP address, either
looking up the corresponding Ethernet MAC address in the ARP table or using a reverse ARP
request.
You can enter the EUM ID (in the format XX:XX:XX) rather than the IP address in the following
commands:
• ping <EUM ID>
• telnet <EUM ID>
• file get <EUM ID> (with or without the other parameters)
• arp map <EUM ID>
NOTE: A 3.x EUM or CCU will NOT respond to the RARP; but if there is
an entry in the local ARP table already, the ARP lookup will work.
Watch by IP Address
The watch command at the CCU now takes either an EUM ID or an IP address as an
argument. Given an IP address, it attempts to determine which EUM the host with that IP
address is using. The IP address of the EUM or PC connected to that EUM both resolve to the
EUMID.
NOTE: The statistics collected are still for that EUM and not only for
packets to and from the IP address.
Table Sorting
The air, authorization, and address tables are now displayed sorted by EUM ID. (Note that the
ARP and ARP map tables are already sorted by IP address).
