5 Click the Apply button to save the security policy and return to the Quick Setup screen.
At this point, you can test the access point for MU interoperability.
Testing Connectivity
Verify the Access Point's link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol (WNMP)
ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure the
parameters of the test. The WNMP ping test only works with certain Motorola MUs. Only use a
Motorola MU to test Access Point connectivity using WNMP.
NOTE
Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same ESSID as the Access Point.
Since WEP 128 has been configured for the Access Point, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and
use the same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the Access Point before testing for connectivity.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an Access Point:
1 Select Status and Statistics > MU Stats from the menu tree.
2 Select the Echo Test button from within the MU Stats Summary screen.
3 Define the following parameters for the test.
Station Address
Number of pings
Packet Length
4 Click the Ping button to begin transmitting packets to the specified MU address.
Refer to the Number of Responses value to assess the number of responses from the MU versus the
number of ping packets transmitted by the Access Point. Use the ratio of packets sent versus the
number of packets received the link quality between the MU and the Access Point.
Click the OK button to exit the Echo Test screen and return to the MU Stats Summary screen.

Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the
Generate button. The Access Point, other proprietary
routers and MUs use the same algorithm to convert a
string to the same hexadecimal number. Motorola clients
and devices need to enter WEP keys manually as
hexadecimal numbers. The Access Point and its target
client(s) must use the same pass key to interoperate.
Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. For
WEP 64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10 hexadecimal
characters in length. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the
keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Select
one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio
button. The Access Point and its target client(s) must
use the same key to interoperate.
The station address is the IP address of the target MU.
Refer to the MU Stats Summary screen for associated
MU IP address information.
Defines the number of packets to be transmitted to the
MU. The default is 100.
Specifies the length of each packet transmitted to the
MU during the test. The default length is 100 bytes.
