Figure 2: The Network Topology
Verifying the Connections
If the WS 5000 is connected correctly, devices on the wireless LAN should be able to connect to
devices on the LAN. To test the connection between the wireless client device and the computer
shown in Figure 2, from the wireless client, enter:
C:> ping xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy
PING xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=0 ttl=127 time=0.39 ms
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=0.327 ms
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=0.33 ms
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=0.309 ms
--- xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.309/0.338/0.39 ms
C:>
Because the wireless client was able to connect to a computer on the network through the switch,
the network connections are functioning properly. If the ping test fails, make sure the target
computer is turned on, connected to the network, and is configured with the IP address used in
the ping.
