Linktest
WinDGS may be used to assess the performance of RF links. TCP/IP
protocol must be installed to run this link test. See the Help section of
Windows 95/NT for more information on installing and setting up TCP/
IP. An IP address must also be configured for the Access Point.
1. From the link test command menu, enter the following parameters:
IP address of Aironet Access Point:
This parameter specifies the IP address of the Access Point with
which you want to test the RF link. Set this value before running the
link test.
Number of Packets:
This parameter specifies the number of packets the link test will
attempt to send. The display will show the number of packets of the
specified size that are successfully transmitted and received.
Packet Size:
This parameter specifies the size of the data packet to be sent to the
Aironet Access Point. Be aware that the TCP/IP stack that comes
with Windows 95 will fragment packets greater than 512 bytes.
Therefor, the number of packets transmitted will not match the num-
ber of packets received (even if none are lost) if the packet size is
greater than 512 bytes.
