(WNMP) ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and
configure the parameters of the test. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola MUs. Only use
a Motorola MU to test access point connectivity using WNMP.
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same
