1.
Start a continuous ping from test Station A to bridge end point A. To start a
continuous ping using the factory default IP settings of the bridge, type the
following into a DOS or CMD window on test station A:
Ping 192.168.1.70 –t
(leave this ping window running so you can see ping
results easily)
2.
If there is no response, try IP address 192.168.1.71, or cycle the power on
bridge end point A.
After ~30 seconds, you should see ping responses from 192.168.1.70 (bridge A). If you
see ping responses on test station A, you have an IP network connection between test
station A and bridge A.
If you can ping bridge A, you can open the HTTP configuration utility and network
management system (NMS) using a web browser. You will not be able to ping across the
link to bridge B until WirelessGRID bridge list authorization entries are made in both
bridges. (See step 3)
3.
Setup the Ethernet network connection between bridge B and test station B using
the same procedure described above, then verify that the test station B to bridge
B setup is correct.
After verifying that both bridges and their respective test stations can
communicate via Ethernet, go to step 3
.
Note
Check that the Ethernet link light is on at test station A if connected directly to bridge A with
cross-over cable, or on the switch/router port that bridge A is plugged into if connected with
a straight-though Ethernet cable.
If the Ethernet link light is on and you cannot ping bridge A, then re-check IP address and
NOTE
When doing a multipoint bench test, it is easiest to setup the base station as bridge A, and
the first subscriber unit as bridge B using the procedure above. To test additional
subscriber units, repeat step 3, substituting a new subscriber unit (with a different IP
address) one at a time. This will help to simplify diagnostics and reduce confusion.
