Step 9 Navigate through the access point menu to the link test option. See the appropriate access point technical
reference manual for more information.
Step 10 Set up the test options to accurately model the system.
Step 11 Set the test for continuous operation with a 1-second delay.
Step 12 Begin traversing the area around the access point to determine its coverage. If logging and notes are not
possible with the Telnet application, maintain a manual log.
The Telnet session packets are interspersed with test packets that might increase the round trip time for
some frames. The link test will show progress changes as the test is being conducted.
The first-time delivery success rate for the packet cannot be important for transaction based systems and
can result in a slightly larger range. Using longer packets can provide some degree of safety margin in
the range estimate.
Note Roundtrip time is affected by the Telnet session maintenance.
Loading New Firmware Versions
We recommend that you use the Cisco Windows-based Aironet Client Utility (ACU) for your firmware
updates. After updating the firmware by this method, you can reinstall the adapter in its MS-DOS
computing device.
DOS Utilities
This section describes the MS-DOS utility programs used to perform configuration and diagnostics of
the Cisco Aironet wireless LAN client adapters. The programs work on the PCM34x, LMC34x,
PCM35x, and LMC35x. The programs cannot work on older cards, depending on the hardware features
and firmware levels of those cards.
Configuration Utilities
The configuration programs update the firmware of the card. First unload any protocol driver. These
configuration utilities are shipped with the drivers:
• WEPDOS.EXE—sets a WEP transmit key and key values
• AWCALLID.EXE—establishes a call ID number
The following utility does not ship with the drivers. To obtain it, contact your local Cisco System
Engineer.
• AWCLEAP.EXE—sets and clears LEAP username and passwords
