AP-7131 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 36
At this point, you can either restrict specific MU access to the access point (using the ACL)
or test the access point for MU interoperability.
3.2.2 Excluding MUs from Association
Optionally, use the access point Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or cannot gain
access to an access point managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can gain access. For specific
information on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the
AP-7131 Series Product Reference
Guide. The guide is available on the Motorola Web site, at
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do .
3.2.3 Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity
Verify the access point’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 ping test. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola MUs. Only
use a Motorola MU to test connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an access point:
1. Select Status and Statistics - > MU Stats from the menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the MU Stats Summary screen.
3. Define the following ping test parameters:
4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the MU address specified.
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same
ESSID as the access point. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the
access point, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use
the same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the access point
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 ping Specify the number of ping packets to transmit to the target MU.
The default is 100.
Packet Length Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target
MU during the ping test. The default is 100 bytes.
