Ping utility should be used for the preliminary link quality and packet latency
estimation between two network devices using the ICMP packets.
Remote system IP can be selected from the list which is generated
automatically (
Select destination IP
) or can be
specified manually
.
The size of the ICMP packets can be specified in the
Packet size
field.
Estimation is done after the number of ICMP packets (specified in
Packet count
field) is transmitted/received.
Packet loss statistics and latency time evaluation is provided after the test is
completed.
The test is started using the Start button.
Finding the route across the network with Traceroute utility
•
TraceRoute: Allows tracing the hops from the AirOS device to a selected
outgoing IP address. It should be used for the finding the route taken by ICMP
packets across the network to the
Destination host
.
Resolution of the IP addresses (symbolically rather than numerically) can be
enabled by selecting the Resolve IP address option.
The test is started using the
Start
button.
Wireless Site Survey utility
•
Site Survey: utility will search for wireless networks in range on all the
supported channels while device is operating as
Access Point
or
Station
. In
Station mode channel list can be modified. Refer to the section Link Setup for
the details on channel list customization.
Site Survey will report
MAC Address
,
SSID
,
Encryption
type (if any),
Signal
Strength
,
Frequency
and wireless
channel
used for each Access Point which is
found.
The Site Survey can be updated using the Scan button.
