Diagnostic Tests
Three types of tests are available within the Diagnostics section: Ping, Bandwidth and Traceroute.
Ping Test
A low level ICMP test which indicates whether the target host is reachable from the local device.
Destination Host - The destination IP Address of the device to ping.
●
Packet Count - The number of packets to transmit during a ping.
●
Packet Size - The size of each packet to transmit during a ping.
●
Run Test - Click on the Run Test button to ping the destination IP address. Results are shown in the
●
corresponding table.
Bandwidth Test
A manual test to assess maximum throughput when minimal or no traffic is present. This test sends 1500-byte
packets using a proprietary UDP-like protocol. Results are shown in corresponding graph on this page. Note that
bandwidth test data is excluded from the Dashboard Performance graph. This is because the test is conducted by
transmitting packets at a low layer between the two radios. Navigating away from this page will stop the test. The
bandwidth test is only available when the devices are associated in PTP mode.
Test Duration - The length of the bandwidth test in seconds.
●
Test - Select one of the following options to assess the maximum throughput:
●
Local to Remote - Unidirectional test from the local device to the remote device
●
Remote to Local - Unidirectional test from the remote device to the local device
●
Transmit then Receive - Bidirectional tests conducted in series
●
Simultaneous - Bidirectional test conducted in parallel
●
Traceroute Test
A network utility used to display the path and transit delay between the local device and a given destination across
an IP network.
Destination Host - The destination IP address for traceroute to send packets.
●
Resolve IP Address - Indicate whether the system should resolve and print the host name of the destination.
●
Max Number of Hops - Choose the maximum number of intermediate devices (e.g. routers) through which
●
packets must pass between source and destination.
Run Test - Click on the Run Test button to begin the traceroute test. Results are shown in the corresponding
●
table.
