4-10 Using SPEEDView
The Node, Link, Stats and View Menus (on the Main tab)
There are several commands located under the Node, Link, Stats and View menus on the main tab.
Node menu
Configure: Choose Configure to launch the SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator, which is a web
browser used to view/configure many parameters and services for that node. This is the
same as double-clicking any node. See the SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Opera-
tion Manual for further instructions.
Hide:
If there are too many nodes to comprehensively view on the 9000 network, select the
nodes you want to hide and choose Hide.
Show: Choose Show to display any nodes that were previously hidden using the “Hide”
feature.
Select All: If you want to select all of the nodes on the 9000 network (including hidden),
choose Select All. This is useful for hiding a large number of nodes.
Link menu
Bandwidth Test: Choose Bandwidth Test and a node pair or link to verify that your equip-
ment is communicating properly at the RF level. This process will help you during your per-
formance evaluation. See Performing a Bandwidth Test, page 4-13 for further instructions.
Ping Test: Choose Ping Test to verify node connectivity. See Performing a Ping Test,
page 4-14 for further instructions.
Block: (This command is used with mesh networks only.) Select the node pair or link. (Press
the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select more than one node or link at a time.) Next, choose
Block. When you “block” a connection, the node pair will not be able to communicate.
Unblock: (This command is used with mesh networks only.) Select the nodes or links you
want to unblock. Next, choose Unblock to clear the “blocked” path.
Stats menu
Show All Link Stats: Choose Show All Link Stats to display all the statistics of all of the links
in the statistics window (bottom half of Main tab).
Clear Stats: Choose Clear Stats to remove the statistics of the links in the statistics window
(bottom half of Main tab).
