on individual nodes as well as individual node radio performance.
Running a Signal Strength Test (Strength)
The strength option sends a packet once per second to our parent access
point and each node in the association table. This packet is echoed back
to the Aironet 340 Series Bridge which records and displays the RF sig-
nal strength associated with that particular node.

It can be used to quickly check the link to each radio partner or could be
monitored while aligning directional antennas between two nodes. As
the antennas are moved, the signal strength could be monitored until the
maximum value is achieved.

Running a Carrier Busy Test
The Carrier option can be used to determine the amount of activity on
each of the available frequencies. Its main use is to pick an unused fre-
quency or to check for the presence of a jammer.
