Preparing for the RF Link Test

Before attempting to run the RF Link Test, make sure the two access points are configured as
shown in 6.1: Basic Setup for the RF Link Test. Also make sure that they are communicating with
each other through a wireless connection. Verify the wireless access point operation by looking at
the access point's WLAP RF Statistics screen. To do this, press
the WLAP RF Statistics screen displayed, verify that the Current State is Functional and the Itf
State is being forwarded (FWD) to the MAC address of the remote access point. An example of the
WLAP RF Statistics screen is shown in Figure 6-4.
