Speed Test

This utility allows you to test the connection speed
between two airOS 7 devices that are using firmware
version 7.1 or above. You can use the Speed Test tool to
estimate a preliminary throughput between two network
devices.

Note:

If traffic shaping is enabled on either

device, then the Speed Test results will be limited
accordingly.

Select Destination IP

You have two options:

• Select a remote system IP from the drop-down list,

which is generated automatically.

• Select specify manually and enter the IP address in the

field displayed below.

Click the icon to refresh the list of remote system IP
addresses.

Remote WEB port

Enter the remote web port of the

airOS device to establish a TCP/IP-based throughput test
(for example, specify port 443 if HTTPS is enabled on the
remote device). The default is 80.

User

Enter the administrator username.

Note:

Enter the remote system access credentials

required for communication between two airOS
devices. Administrator username and password
are required to establish the TCP/IP-based
throughput test.

Password

Enter the administrator password.

Direction

Select one of three directions:

duplex

Estimates the incoming (RX) and outgoing (TX)

throughput at the same time.

receive

Estimates the incoming (RX) throughput.

transmit

Estimates the outgoing (TX) throughput.

Duration

Enter the number of seconds the test should

last. The default is 30 seconds.

Start

Click Start to start the test.

The results are displayed on a speedometer dial and in five
result categories:

Avg RX

Displays the estimated average of incoming

throughput.

Avg TX

Displays the estimated average of outgoing

throughput.

Avg Total

Displays the estimated average of aggregate

throughput.

Max RX

Displays the maximum of incoming throughput.

Max TX

Displays the maximum of outgoing throughput.

Cable Test

The Cable Test tool is a diagnostics tool for checking your
Ethernet cabling to see if any of the wires are incorrectly
connected.

Cable Length

Displays the length of the cable. (If the

cable length is less than 20 m (66 ft), “< 20 meters” is
displayed.)

Pair

Displays the pair identifier: A represents pins 4 and

5; B represents pins 3 and 6; C represents pins 1 and 2; D
represents pins 7 and 8.

SNR, dB

Displays the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) value

in dB.

Start

Click Start to start the test.
