Symbol Technologies AP-5131 - Manual (Page 75)

Getting Started 3-13
5. Click the Apply button to save the security policy and return to the AP-5131 Quick Setup
screen.
At this point, you can test the AP-5131 for MU interoperability.
3.5.2 Testing Connectivity
Verify the AP-5131’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 test. The WNMP ping test only works with Symbol MUs. Only use a Symbol
MU to test AP-5131 connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an AP-5131:
1. Select Status and Statistics -> MU Stats from the AP-5131 menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the MU Stats Summary screen.
3. Define the following parameters for the test.
Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. The key can be
either a hexidecimal or ASCII depending on which option is
selected from the drop-down menu. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the
keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in length or 5 ASCII
characters. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26
hexadecimal characters in length or 13 ASCII characters. Select
one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio button. The
AP-5131 and its target client(s) must use the same key to
interoperate.
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same
ESSID as the AP-5131. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the AP-
5131, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use the same
WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the AP-5131 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 IP address
information.
Number of pings Defines the number of packets to be transmitted to the MU. The
default is 100.
