Verifying Connectivity

In order to verify the connection, use the ping command. For example, if the Access Point IP address is 192.168.1.1, we will invoke the following command on the EVM:

ping 192.168.1.1

You should see the an output similar to the following:

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=1003.369 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.526 ms

You can also invoke the command. This command will display the AP settings and verify the connection iw wlan0 link.
