Conducting iPerf Performance Testing
91
When you open the Select iPerf Server screen, the AirCheck
G2 begins automatically scanning for NetAlly Test
Accessories that are available for iPerf testing. Search for and
select the appropriate iPerf test endpoint using the following
methods:
• The currently selected iPerf Server IP address displays in
the top field on this screen. Tap any of the discovered
Test Accessories in the Available iPerf Remotes list
during or after scanning to populate the iPerf Server field
with the selected IP address.
Figure 63. Tap to Select an iPerf Server
• If you know the IP address of your iPerf server software
or
Test Accessory, you can manually enter it by tapping
the iPerf Server IP Address field. Tap DONE to save the
new address.
NOTE: To use iPerf server software installed on a P
C, you
must type in the IP address manually by tapping the
iPerf Server field at the top of this screen.
• If you have recently run an iPerf test on the AirCheck G2,
the iPerf Se
rver field autopopulates with the last known
iPerf server's IP address. Tap the drop-down arrow
to select another, recently used iPerf server address. The
AirCheck G2 shows the l
ast five addresses used in the
drop-down list.
• The AirCheck G2 scans its current local subnet and the
subnet of the last Ethernet test (“Testing Ethernet for
Access Point Backhaul” on page 53) run while using the
currently loaded profile for available iPerf servers. See
“How to: Discover a Test Accessory using the Ethernet
Test,” page 92.
• You can also manually enter an IP Subnet to be scanned
by tap
ping the Additional Subnet field. Tap Rescan after
entering a subnet to scan the subnet.
• If you have a Link-Live Cloud Service account t
hat is
currently configured to receive your test results, AirCheck
G2 queries Link-Live for any claimed Test Accessories
and displays them in the list of Available iPerf Remotes.
