Performing a Carrier Busy
Test

Configuring ClientLink

You can perform a carrier busy test to check the radio activity on wireless
channels. During the carrier busy test, the wireless access point drops all
associations with wireless networking devices for 4 seconds while it conducts the
carrier test and then the test results appear.
In privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to perform a carrier busy test:
dot11 interface-number carrier busy
For interface-number, enter
radio, or enter
dot11radio 1
Use the
show dot11 carrier busy
results.
Cisco ClientLink (referred to as Beam Forming) is an intelligent beamforming
technology that directs the RF signal to 802.11a/g devices to improve
performance by 65%, improve coverage by up to 27% percent, and reduce
coverage holes.
Cisco ClientLink helps extend the useful life of existing 802.11a/g devices in
mixed-client networks. It is beneficial for organizations that move to 802.11n
and want to make sure that all clients on the network, regardless of type, are
guaranteed the bandwidth and throughput they need.

Using CLI to Configure ClientLink

To enable ClientLink, enter this CLI command in interface configuration mode
on 802.11n radio interfaces:

The ClientLink configuration option is not available through GUI.
