Appendix B: V-Probe Operation and Configuration
The V-Probe Responder is a companion accessory to the Air Expert series units. It is used as a remote server to establish V-
Perf TCP/UDP connections and validate that the network is configured correctly for seamless passing of TCP & UDP traffic to an
Access Point (AP). For this test, the V-Probe responder is connected directly to the Ethernet port on the back of the AP/Router.
The test set is connected to the WiFi air interface to perform WiFi to Ethernet data throughput tests.
B.1 Interface Panel
Ports:
USB
: Used for loading unlocking/factory reboot utility. Refer to
for information on connection
troubleshooting.
Ethernet
: 10/100/1000Base-T test interface and management interface. LEDs indicate Ethernet connection and traffic
status.
Amber LED = Ethernet link up. If the LED is off the Ethernet link is down.
Green LED = Traffic (Tx or Rx). If the LED is off, there is no traffic.
HDMI
: Not in use.
DC-5V
: Connect the VeEX DC 5V charger to the DC-5V port to power the unit.
LED
: Indicates V-Probe and test status:
LED OFF:
V-Probe is turned off.
LED Solid Green:
V-Probe is on and fully operational.
LED Quickly Blinking Green:
If the V-Probe's LED is quickly blinking (200 ms interval), it indicates that a V-Perf
test is currently running. When the V-Perf server returns to Idle state, the LED is solid green.
LED Slowly Blinking Green:
If the V-Probe's LED is slowly blinking (3 second interval), it indicates that the V-
Probe is not operating properly and that the system is corrupted. To troubleshoot, hold the power key for 3 seconds
and wait for LED to turn off before disconnecting the power cable. Reconnect the power cable and boot it back up.
If the LED is still blinking at slow rate, contact customer support.

Power key
: We recommend using the power key to shut down the unit. Hold the power key for 3 seconds and wait for LED to
turn off before disconnecting the power cable. If the unit is shut down by disconnecting the power cable, this can result in data
corruption. Note that the power key cannot be used to power on the unit. The unit automatically powers on after connecting the
charger.
Warning
Disconnecting the power supply prior to safely shutting down can result in data corruption.
