Excluding MUs from Association
Optionally, use the access point Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or
cannot gain access to an access point managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can
gain access. For specific information on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the

Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity
Verify the access point’s link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management
Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify
a target MU and configure the parameters of the ping test. The WNMP ping test only
works with Motorola Solutions MUs. Only use a Motorola Solutions MU to test
connectivity using WNMP.

To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an access point:
NOTE
Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same ESSID as the access
point. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the access point, the MU also needs to be
configured for WEP 128 and use the same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the
access point before testing for connectivity.

fields to specify key numbers. For WEP
64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in
length. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26
hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys
for activation by clicking its radio button. The access point
and its target client(s) must use the same key to
interoperate.
