This section describes the methods for checking the connection between wire-
less LAN PCs and between the WLI-PCM and an access point.
Connection between wireless LAN PCs
The PING command is used to check the connection between wireless LAN PCs.
Executing the PING command checks that the IP packet reaches the destination
correctly.
The TCP/IP protocol must be installed to execute the PING command.
Go to "Connection to other computers" on page 97.
