Speed Test
This utility allows you to test the connection speed
between two airOS devices that are using firmware
version 5.2 or above. You can use Speed Test to estimate a
preliminary throughput between two network devices.
Note: If traffic shaping is enabled on either
device, then the Speed Test results will be limited
accordingly.
Select Destination IP You have two options:
• Select a remote system IP from the drop‑down list,
which is generated automatically.
• Select specify manually and enter the IP address in the
field displayed below.
User Enter the administrator username.
Note: Enter the remote system access credentials
required for communication between two airOS
devices. Administrator username and password are
required to establish the TCP/IP‑based throughput
test.
Password Enter the administrator password.
Remote WEB port Enter the remote web port of the
airOS device to establish a TCP/IP‑based throughput test
(for example, specify port 443 if HTTPS is enabled in the
remote device). If the web port of the remote device is not
correct, then the ICMP throughput measurement routine
will be initiated.
Show Advanced Options Enables additional Speed Test
utility options.
Direction Select one of three directions:
• duplex Estimates the incoming (RX) and outgoing (TX)
throughput at the same time.
• receive Estimates the incoming (RX) throughput.
• transmit Estimates the outgoing (TX) throughput.
Run Test Click this button to start the test.
Test Results Displays three result categories:
• RX Displays the estimated incoming throughput.
• TX Displays the estimated outgoing throughput.
• Total Displays the aggregate throughput.
airView
Use the airView Spectrum Analyzer to analyze the noise
environment of the radio spectrum and intelligently select
the optimal frequency to install a PtP airMAX link.
There are two system requirements for the airView
Spectrum Analyzer:
• Your system is connected to the device via Ethernet.
Launching airView will terminate all wireless
connections on the device.
• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (or above) is required on
your client machine to use airView.
On first use, the following window appears.
• Do NOT warn me about this in the future Check the
box to bypass this window in future launches of the
airView Spectrum Analyzer.
• Launch airView Click Launch airView to download the
Java Network Launch Protocol (jnlp) file and complete
the launch of airView.
