Communication Testing
After installing the AWK Series you can run a sample test to make sure the AWK Series and the wireless
connection are functioning normally. Two testing methods are described below. Use the first method if you
are using only one AWK Series device as an AP and use the second method if you are using AWK Series
devices as Client and AP.
How to Test the AWK Series as an AP
AWK-3252A/AWK-4252A
If you are testing the AWK Series device as an AP, you will need a second notebook computer equipped with
a WLAN card. Configure the WLAN card to connect to the AWK Series and change the IP address of the
second notebook (Notebook B) so that it is on the same subnet as the first notebook (Notebook A), which is
connected to the AWK Series.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the AWK Series and open a DOS
window on Notebook B. At the prompt, type
ping <IP address of notebook A>
and then press Enter (see the figure below). A “Reply from IP address …” response means the
communication was successful. A “Request timed out.” response means the communication failed. In this
case, recheck the configuration to make sure the connections are correct.
