Appendix: Using the Tracer
™
TU Service Tool with
Wireless Networks
To monitor, troubleshoot, or make modifications to devices on a wireless network, the Tracer TU
service tool must join the network and connect to a device. This appendix describes that process
and how to access wireless network management information and functions.
For instructions on using Tracer TU to make changes to a wireless network, see “Modifying the
Network,” p. 22.

Note: For instructions on Tracer TU Communications Adapter installation and best practices,
see the current version of X39641157.
• If the network includes a Tracer SC, a user ID and password.
