Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity - Motorola AP-7131 Installation Manual

At this point, you can either restrict specific MU access to the AP-7131 (using the AP-7131
ACL) or test the AP-7131 for MU interoperability.
3.2.2 Excluding MUs from AP-7131 Association
Optionally, use the AP-7131 Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or cannot gain access
to an AP-7131 managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can gain access. For specific information
on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide is
available on the Motorola Web site, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.

3.2.3 Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity

Verify the AP-7131's link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol (WNMP)
ping packets to the associated MU. Use the
the parameters of the ping test. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola MUs. Only use a
Motorola MU to test AP-7131 connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an AP-7131:
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same

AP-7131, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use the
same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the AP-7131 before
testing for connectivity.
