DIAG24 Diagnostics Utility
The DIAG24 Diagnostics utility lets you ping an Access Point (AP) on the network as a way
to identify possible problems with wireless network communication. DIAG24 has two
options, with the same series of set-up menus for both options.
DIAG24 Setup
To run the utility and set up for the tests:
1. Boot the terminal to a DOS prompt. The DOS prompt appears if you boot the
terminal and it cannot connect to the network.
2. At the DOS prompt, type
