5 Testing and Deployment
This section describes the tests that you can perform before and after deployment to optimize
the performance of your NCL1170:
Before Deployment
radio connection (pinging)
After Deployment
signal strength (antenna alignment)
continuous transmit and receive
transmit and receive loopback
5.1 Performing a Ping Test
Use the Ping Test to verify that the NCL1170 is configured correctly and able to communicate
with other bridges and routers.
NOTE: This test requires two NCL1170 units, one configured as a
Master, and the other, a Station, set up on either side of a room,
at least 12 feet apart.
1. Ensure that each NCL1170 has an antenna connected to it. Do NOT plug the
NCL1170 to the power outlet until you have an antenna connected.
