Chapter 6. RF Link Test 6.3 Preparing for the RF Link Test Before attempting to run the RF Link Test, make sure the two access points are configured as shown in 6.1: Basic Setup for the RF Link Test. Also make sure that they are communicating with each other through a wireless connection. Verify the wireless access point operation by looking at the access point's WLAP RF Statistics screen. To do this, press F3 on the RF Statistics screen. With the WLAP RF Statistics screen displayed, verify that the Current State is Functional and the Itf State is being forwarded (FWD) to the MAC address of the remote access point. An example of the WLAP RF Statistics screen is shown in Figure 6-4.
