sources of interference.

Use the remote option to run a multicast link test between a client node 
associated somewhere in the infrastructure and its parent bridge. You 
will be prompted for the infrastructure address of the client node. A 
broadcast request will be made. The bridge with this associated node 
will run the link test and return the results which will be displayed to the 
operator locally.

Remote linktest from 00409610d258 to 0040961064de

Sent 100 of 100 512 byte packets, Destination received 

90, Source received 90

The destination option is used to indicate the target node address for the 
link test. You may enter an infrastructure address or the string “any”. If 
you select “any,” the Aironet 340 Series Bridge will direct the test to the 
first legal address found in the association table, the access point to 
which the unit is registered. If you enter a network address, it may only 
be used for the remote or unicast linktests. 

The size and count options are used to indicate the size and number of 
packets to be sent. The default values are 100 packets of 512 bytes each. 
Both the size and the count can be changed. The packet size may be set 
from 24 to 1500 bytes and the count of the number of packets to transmit 
may be set from 1 to 999 packets.

Using the rate option to control the data rate at which the packets are 
sent. Normally you would leave the setting at auto to allow the radio to 
perform it’s normal rate shifting algorithm. You might use the actual 
rate settings to test for the range limits at each of the data rates.

When running the link test, use the highest data bit rate possible to test 
the reliability of your data bit rate and frequency combination. The more 
packets you send and the larger the packet size, the more accurate the 
test. 

NOTE: Multiple large packets will increase test time.
