Hi Homer Parker, Yes, in the wireless bridge option there is no site survey and link status option available and we are unable to include this function in the WB mode.
However, the best way to test the signal strength is to configure as AP-CB mode combination and test the link status. Once you have confirmed with this result, then you can go ahead and configure as a point to point wireless bridges. To make sure that WB mode is working, please check that both units are set to Wireless Bridge mode -point to point, input the Mac address of the opposite unit and configure on the same channel. Then PING and test the link from the both end. Best regards, Seeni sB Tech support [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Homer Parker Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 5:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] aBT w/N connector - Pocket PC simpleMonitor On Thu, 9 Oct 2003 13:55:31 -0700 "Colorado Wisp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Better yet, how about a Pocket PC version of simpleMonitor for > Airbridge.

As he was showing me the setup, and available options, SimpleMonitor locked up on his laptop... Locked up the APPO... Not a good result, took a power cycle for the APPO to come back to life :( Just an idea.. A simple text interface available via ssh (as long as it's not as convoluted as the Cisco 340 ;) would suit me just fine.. Cross platform, and could still use GUI utils if you wanted as we have now via SNMP... Another plus would be, you don't always have the GUI utils with you, but a quick download of an ssh client (there are free clients for about evey OS out there), and you're managing the units.. Again just an idea from someone just getting into the SB products (configured my backhaul and AP here in the office last night)... I do have a question ;) I setup the backhauls as wireless bridges.. I didn't see a way to link test that setup, what did I overlook? --- Homer Parker LAN/WAN, Wireless Networking, PC Sales/Service Linux, OS/2 and Windows Support PC Services 785.483.7602 129 W 8th #101 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Russell, KS 67665 http://www.pcsrvc.com "So for the IT Manager Role, you want someone who's absolute crap, looks reasonable on paper, and won't cause too much trouble. ...
