MDS 05-4846A01, Rev. D SD Series Technical Manual 59
Link Test The primary use of the Link Test is to verify that a specific radio's set-
tings are consistent with the initiator including: Assigned frequency,
unit number setting, encryption (if enabled), etc. Also collected at the
same time is an indication of link quality. All radios are always ready to
respond to a Link Test message. Only the initiating radio requires con-
figuration when using the Link Test screen, and it is only available when
operating in packet mode.
A summary of data statistics is displayed on the right side of the screen,
including transmit/receive packet counts, total bits, and total number of
bit errors.
NOTE: No other data traffic should be active when performing a Link-
test.
