6.10 All Devices Packet Loss (Device Discovery)
The All Devices Packet Loss test runs a series of ping tests to one or more IP hosts on the LAN,
maintaining and presenting a set of cumulative results as testing progresses. Results are focused on the
number of packets that are lost; that is, for which the unit never receives a reply. Note that:
• Initially, the test automatically detects all IP hosts on the LAN and presents a list of addresses, from
which you can select the specific hosts you want to target with the ping testing stage. Testing to all
selected hosts occurs simultaneously.
• This test is effectively the same as Device Discovery, which appears in some menus instead of All
Devices Packet Loss. The naming difference is due to the likely intended purpose; that is, whether
the test will be used to discover devices only or to continue with packet loss testing. Regardless of
the source menu or test name, you can choose whether or not to continue with packet loss testing.
• For any given host, the ping testing stage is similar to the single-target Packet Loss Test (see Single
Device PLT on page 6-11).
6.10.1 Setup - All Devices Packet Loss
When initiated, the test behaves differently according to the active interface:
• Wi-Fi or 10/100 - The host detection stage starts immediately.
• MoCA - The unit prompts you to select MOCA-specific options related to the BHR. For more
information, see Special MoCA BHR considerations - All Devices Packet Loss on page 6-21.
