In this case, the access point does not have to be operating in the wireless access point mode. The only requirements are that the mobile units have the same ESS ID as the access point and that they support the WNMP. Figure 6-10 shows an access point associating with mobile units. In this example, you can use the RF Link Test to check the wireless path of a remote printer linked to a network through a client bridge.

Using RF Link Test with Mobile Units
The RF Link Test may also be used to test the RF transmission paths to mobile units. In this case,
the access point does not have to be operating in the wireless access point mode. The only
requirements are that the mobile units have the same ESS ID as the access point and that they
support the WNMP.
Figure 6-10 shows an access point associating with mobile units. In this example, you can use the
RF Link Test to check the wireless path of a remote printer linked to a network through a client
bridge.
