TESTING COMMUNICATION LINK
After you have configured at least two of the Model 210 wireless Ethernet modems for operation, you can verify communication
with each the following steps:
Status Light
The quickest source of link status is to view the Status Light
on the face of the 210 (Figure 1). If the Status light is solid,
the Model 210 has a connection to another Model 210 listed
in the Peer Table.
Status Screen/Peer Table
To view detailed information on the status of the communication link (such as connection speed, signal strength and last update
time) you can open the Status Screen from the Web Interface. After press the Status tab at the top of the screen the Status:
Summary will be displayed showing the status of all ports and memory in the 210. Under the Wireless Status heading click on the
View Peer Table (Figure 2). The Peer Table will list all other Wifi (210g and 210a only) or mobile client wireless activity seen by
the 210 and how it is classified.
