Wireless link quality estimation with Network Ping utility
Finding the route across the network with Traceroute utility
SpeedTest utility
Ping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping) : This utility will ping other
devices on the network directly from the AirOS device.
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.
Traceroute
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.
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 a preliminary
throughput estimation between two network devices.
Select Destination IP: Remote system IP can be selected from the list, which
is generated automatically (Select destination IP) or may be specified manually.
Remote system access credentials (administrator username - User and
Password) should be provided for the communication between two AirOS
powered devices. This is required in order to establish the TCP/IP based
throughput test.
Remote WEB port of the AirOS powered devices should be specified in order to
establish TCP/IP based throughput test (i.e. 443 port should be specified if
HTTPS is enabled in the remote system). ICMP throughput measurement routine
will be initiated if the WEB port of the remote system is incorrect.
Show advanced options control will enable additional Speed Test utility options. There are 3 options available for the traffic direction
while estimating the throughput maximum:
Direction:
Estimate the incoming (Rx) throughput while selecting “receive” option;
Estimate the outgoing (Tx) throughput while selecting “transmit” option;
Estimate the incoming (Rx) and the outgoing (Tx) throughput at the same time while selecting option duplex.
Test Results
Rx: shows the estimated incoming throughput.
Tx: shows the estimated out-coming throughput.
Total: shows the aggregated throughput
