3. Retrieve and install the Spirent python scripts - You must place two python scripts (*.py) files in

For login credentials, please contact your account manager.
6.9 Speedtest
The Speedtest provides a standard internet-based maximum throughput test. By exchanging data with
an internet endpoint, it attempts to determine the maximum data rate supported in both the uplink and
downlink directions. Note that this test may put a temporary strain on the local network, as it is attempting
to exchange the maximum amount of data possible.
This test is a purchasable option. Please contact Spirent for more information.
6.9.1 Setup - Speedtest
The setup screen requires the following parameters:
Important note: The python scripts are currently configured for Windows usage only and require
that the system path environment variable contains the path to the python executable. If you are
using Windows, you should ensure that this variable is set correctly.
If you are using Linux or Unix instead, you must adjust the first line of each script to point to the
location of the python interpreter, for example:
#!/usr/bin/python
If the system is unable to locate the python interpreter based on this line, throughput testing will
fail. For more information, see the operating system documentation, python documentation,
and/or contact Spirent.
