Testing The Rfping - Nortel 2360 Configuration Manual

Testing the RFPing

The "rfping" command provides information about the RF link between the WSS and the client based on sending test
packets to the client. The output of the command indicates the number of test packets received and acknowledged by the
client as well as the client's signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio. The command is executed from the CLI superuser
prompt.
To test the rfping
WSS# rfping mac {mac-addr} session-id {session-id}
WSS# rfping mac 00:09:2d:94:25:a9

Explanation
The number of test packets sent from the WSS to the client.
The number of test packets acknowledged by the client.
Received signal strength indication (RSSI) - the strength of the RF signal from the
client, in decibels referred to 1 milliwatt (dBm)
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), in decibels (dB), of the data received from the client.
The round-trip time (RTT) in microseconds, for the client's response to the test
packets
