In order to run a Ping or a Bandwidth Test, write the destination IP in the proper window and
click run. Bandwidth Test is performed using 4 Mb/s UDP traffic. Both tests can be run on top of a
loaded network to test operational performances, or on top of an unloaded network to test installed
capacity.

7.17 Multicast
By default, FM units operating in Mesh Point mode forward all the multicast traffic generated by the
cameras to their closest Mesh End unit. However, in some network configurations, it may be
convenient to forward the multi-cast traffic from a Mesh Point to others, e.g., to remotely record the

Please note that the achievable rate computation is CPU-intensive and only indicative. Results may be not
accurate. Usually the bandwidth tests tend to underestimate the real throughput of the link.
