su testrflink <su#>
This command is to check the integrity of the wireless link from the standpoint
of packet loss. AP will send 20 large packets to the SU and the SU will in turn
send the same 20 packets back to the AP. The expected result of an error free
link is 20..20..20, indicating (in the following sequence) 20 packets sent from
AP, 20 packets received back at AP, 20 packets received at SU. Any results
other than 20..20..20 indicate lost packets, most likely due to interference or
inadequate signal to noise ratio.
The “r” is used in this command to repeat the rf link test repeatedly until the user
terminates the test by hitting SPACE ENTER.
Example:
As another example, a result of 20..10..18 would indicate 20 packets sent from AP, 18 packets
received at SU, 10 packets received back at the AP.
For thorough results it is recommended you run the command repeatedly for at least 1 minute or
more to determine if packets are passing without error consistently over time.
