2.4 GHz (Aironet) Radio Site Surveys
Site survey facilities described above are not available with 2.4 GHz (Aironet) radio systems. The
Aironet 2.4 GHz radio system is an IP based radio network and must use IP based utilities. One such
utility, recommended for site survey use is the PING utility.
To use the PING utility, use the following steps:
1) Turn on the internal barcode reader in the Program Manager Menu system. If an internal
barcode reader is already installed, then this step is not necessary. Save the parameters and
reboot the terminal.
2) Switch to the CONSOLE task (automatically starts when the internal barcode reader is
enabled).
3) Use the DNS task to set a DNS Name for the test IP ( > dns set host <Name> <IP Number>.
Note that the
4) Type “>ping <Name>” and ENTER to start the PING test. Note the <Name> is case
sensitive.
Following is an example of a PING test:
>tcp ip addr en0
tcp>en0 IP Address is 192.168.0.40

>dns set host AP15 192.168.0.15
