Ping
The Ping tool is used to check the preliminary link quality
and packet latency estimation between two network
devices using ICMP packets.
Network Ping
Select Destination IP
A remote system IP can be selected
from the list which is generated automatically or can be
specified manually.
Packet Count
Enter the number of packets to send for
the ping test.
Packet Size
The size of the ICMP packets can be specified
in this field.
Start
The test is started using this button.
Packet loss statistics and latency time evaluation is
provided after the test is completed.
Traceroute
The TraceRoute tool allows tracing the hops from the
AirRouter to a selected outgoing IP address. It should be
used for finding the route taken by ICMP packets across
the network to the Destination host.
Destination Host
Enter the IP address of the destination
host to which you want to find the route.
Resolve IP Addresses
Resolution of the IP addresses
(symbolically rather than numerically) can be enabled by
selecting this option.
Start
The test is started using this button.
Speed Test
This utility allows you to test the connection speed
between two UBNT devices that are using firmware
version 5.2 or above. It should be used for a preliminary
throughput estimation between two network devices.
Select Destination IP
A remote system IP can be selected
from the list, which is generated automatically (Select
destination IP) or may be specified manually.
Remote system access credentials (administrator
username - User and Password) should be provided for
the communication between two AirOS powered devices.
This is required in order to establish the TCP/IP based
throughput test.
Remote WEB port
The remote Web port the AirOS
powered device should be specified in order to establish
TCP/IP based throughput test (i.e. 443 port should be
specified if HTTPS is enabled in the remote system). The
ICMP throughput measurement routine will be initiated if
the WEB port of the remote system is incorrect.
Show Advanced Options
Enables additional Speed Test
utility options. There are 3 options available for the traffic
direction while estimating the throughput maximum:
Direction
There are three directions to choose from:
•
Duplex
Estimates the incoming (Rx) and the outgoing
(Tx) throughput at the same time.
•
Receive
Estimates the incoming (Rx) throughput.
•
Transmit
Estimates the outgoing (Tx) throughput.
Test Results
Displays three result categories:
•
Rx
Displays the estimated incoming throughput.
•
Tx
Displays the estimated out-coming throughput.
•
Total
Displays the aggregated throughput.
AirView
AirView is a Spectrum Analyzer allowing you to see the
crowdedness of the radio spectrum. You need to run this
tool on a system connected to the AirRouter via Ethernet.
All wireless connections will be disconnected from the
AirRouter.
Note:
Launching AirView will terminate all
wireless connections on the device.
