LUMA X

Clicking on
Comm. test
with 2 LUMA X connected opens a window shown in Figure 12. Checking
one of the
Send random data
options (low or high throughput) will make the corresponding
modem send random data. The rate at which the data is received by the other modem will then
be displayed on the opposite side. For example, Figure 12 shows a LUMA X with the last byte of
its
Configuration IP address
being 102 sending random data with high throughput which is
received by LUMA X with the last byte of its
Configuration IP address
being 101 at 10 Mbps.
Both modems can send random data at the same time which allows you to test the half-duplex
channel between both modems. Please note that operating the modem at a high-power level
and a high data rate while not submerged in water will quickly increase the modem
temperature which is also displayed in the communication test utility.
