Verify the operation of the VMM using the following procedure (within the network coverage area):

Procedure 2-2 Testing the VMM Hardware Installation

Apply power to the VMM. The device will be operational between 60 and 120 seconds.
1
Obtain the Transceiver MAC address and the Host address that was recorded earlier in section
2
Address Table. The address will be similar to the format 02-05-12-0A-xx-yy for the Transceiver
(XCVR) and 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy for the Host. Please note that the actual MAC addresses will vary from
the samples addresses provided in this guide.
Within MeshManager's DeviceManager screen, right-click on the appropriate VMM in the device tree
3
and select the Ping Device option.
Check for a successful response to the Ping command in the named device results dialog box. A
4
successful response verifies that the VMM is communicating to the infrastructure devices.

Testing Individual Device Components

You can also choose to ping each of the two individual components located within a VMM: the
Transceiver (XCVR) and the Host.

Procedure 2-3 Additional Testing of the VMM Hardware Installation

1 Apply power to the VMM – the device will be operational in 60 to 120 seconds.
2 Within the MeshManager software screen, double-click on the specific VMM in the device tree.
If MeshManager is able to communicate with the device, the top of the right pane (in MeshManager) will
be updated to show three smaller panes: one general information pane and two component panes (XCVR
and Host, respectively). See the figure shown below.
