Using SpeedFlex in a Multi-Hop Smart Mesh Network
SpeedFlex can also be used to measure multi-hop throughput between APs and
ZoneDirector in a mesh tree. For example, if you have a mesh tree that is three hops
deep (i.e., ZoneDirector... Root AP... Mesh AP 1... Mesh AP 2), SpeedFlex can
measure the total throughput between ZoneDirector and Mesh AP 2. Running the
Multi-Hop SpeedFlex tool returns throughput results for each hop as well as the
aggregate throughput from ZoneDirector to the final AP in the tree.
To measure throughput across multiple hops in a Smart Mesh tree:
1 Go to Monitor > Mesh , or open the Mesh Topology widget on the Dashboard.
2 Locate the AP whose throughput you want to measure, and click the SpeedFlex
icon on the same row as that AP. The SpeedFlex icon changes to an icon with
a green check mark, and the
Multi-Hops SpeedFlex button appears.
3 Click Multi-Hops SpeedFlex . The SpeedFlex utility launches in a new browser
window.
4 Select Uplink , Downlink or both (default is both), and click Start to begin. Note
that multi-hop SpeedFlex takes considerably longer to complete than a single
hop. If you want to complete the test faster, deselect either Uplink or Downlink
and test one direction at a time.
