• Send: Click this button to send a UDP-based test message to any node on the 9000 net-
work. Select the test message from the drop-down list such as: Hello, Goodbye, Testing,
Marco or Polo (located just under the Main tab).
Then, select the node where you want to send the test message and click Send. The remote
node automatically echoes the message back to the originating node.
If successful, you will see your message flash (in blue) on your network diagram. This
indicates a successful round trip of the data.
Note: If someone is monitoring the remote node with another instance of SPEEDView, he
will also see your message appear.
• Trace: (This button appears for mesh networks only.) Click this button to trace the data flow
between the node pair or link. To set up a trace route, select the destination node. (The
node you are connected to is the source.) Then, choose Trace. You will see the links chosen
by the routing algorithm in order to send data from the source node to the destination
