The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed on the label on the back of the access point. Running the Carrier Busy Test You can use the carrier busy test to find the least congested channel for the radio interface (802.11b). You should typically run the test several times to obtain the best results and to avoid temporary activity spikes. Note The carrier busy test is primarily used for a single access point or a bridge environment. For sites with multiple access points, a site survey is typically performed to determine the best operating locations and operating frequencies for the access points. Note All associated clients on the selected radio will be disassociated during the 6 to 8 seconds needed for the carrier busy test. Follow these steps to activate the carrier busy test: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Open your web browser and enter the access point's IP address in the browser address line. Press Enter. An Enter Network Password window appears. Enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive.
