Verify AP Operation
ACM and ACU

When making changes to the AP after a wireless connection is established, the connection can be monitored by the client using the ACM and ACU.

ACM is an optional application that provides a small subset of the features available through ACU. Specifically, it enables status information about the client adapter connection. ACM is accessible from an icon in the Windows system tray, making it easily accessible and convenient to use .

The appearance of the ACM icon indicates the connection status of the client adapter. ACM reads the client adapter status and updates the icon every two seconds . Double clicking on the ACM icon will display the Client Connection Status .

The Link Test and the Link Status Meter can also be monitored during the change process , .
