NOTE
If ZoneDirector is unable to determine the IP address of the wireless client
that you want to test (for example, if the wireless client is using a static IP address),
the SpeedFlex link for that client does not appear on the Clients page.
6.
Choose
UDP
or
TCP
from the
Protocol
drop-down list. Only one type of traffic can
be tested at a time.
7.
If you are testing AP throughput, you have the option to test both
Downlink
and
Uplink
throughput. Both options are selected by default. If you only want to test one
of them, clear the check box for the option that you do not want to test.
8.
Click the
Start
button.
• If the target client does not have SpeedFlex installed, a message appears in the
ZoneDirector administrator's browser, informing you that the SpeedFlex tool has
to be installed and running on the client before the wireless performance test can
continue. Click the
OK
button on the message, download the appropriate
SpeedFlex version (Windows, Mac or Android) from
http://<ZoneDirector-IP-Address>/perf, and email it to the user, or instruct the
user to go to http://<ZoneDirector-IP-Address>/perf to download and install it.
(See
Allowing Users to Measure Their Own Wireless Throughput
on page 344.)
After SpeedFlex is installed and running on the client, click
Start
again to continue
with the wireless performance test.
A progress bar appears below the speedometer as SpeedFlex generates traffic to
measure the downlink or uplink throughput. One throughput test typically runs for 10-30
seconds. If you are testing both Downlink and Uplink options, the two tests take about
one minute to complete.
When the tests are complete, the results appear below the Start button. Downlink and
uplink throughput results are displayed along with packet loss percentages.
