Note You can specify the IP address of a device on the wired link connected to the access point. This
allows the link test to check both the wireless and wired links.
Step 3 You can set the link test to run until it has completed a specific number of packets or to continuously run
until you stop it. Follow one of the steps below to determine how long the link test will run:
• Specify the number of packets (from 1 to 1000) that the link test sends by typing the number in the
Number of Packets field. (The Number of Packets parameter is ignored if the Continuous check box
is checked.)
• Check the Continuous check box to allow the link test to run continuously.
Step 4 Click the Start button to run the link test. While the test is running, statistics are displayed and updated
periodically. For additional information, see Table 7-4.
Step 5 If you did not set the link test to run continuously, the test ends after the specified number of packets is
sent, and the Stop button changes back to the Start button. To stop the link test at any time, click Stop.
Table 7-4 interprets the statistics that are displayed on the LSM screen while the link test is running.
