Wireless link throughput estimation with Network Speed Test utility
•
Speed Test: This utility allows for testing the connection speed to and from
any reachable IP address on the AirOS device network. It should be used for
the preliminary throughput estimation between two network devices. If both
devices are powered by AirOS, the estimation is more precise, otherwise only
rough estimation is provided while using ICMP packet exchange routines.
Access credentials (administrator username - User and Password) of the
remote system should be provided for the communication between two AirOS
powered devices.
Remote system IP can be selected from the list which is generated
automatically (
Select destination IP
) or can be
specified manually
.
There are 4 options available for the traffic
direction
while estimating the
throughput:
* Estimate the incoming maximal throughput (Rx) while selecting receive
option;
* Estimate the outgoing maximal throughput (Tx) while selecting transmit
option;
* First estimate the incoming (Rx) and afterwards the outgoing (Tx) maximal
throughput while selecting both option;
* Estimate the incoming (Rx) and the outgoing (Tx) maximal throughput at the
same time while selecting duplex option.
Test
Duration
and
Data amount
values can be specified while defining the test
execution time criteria. If both criteria are specified, the test will stop after any
of the criteria is met.
The test is started using the Run Test button.
Wireless link quality estimation with Network Ping utility
•
Ping: This utility will ping other devices on the network directly from the AirOS
device.
