Use the SM Wireless Link Test page to conduct a simple test of SM wireless throughput to the AP to which it is registered. This allows you to determine the throughput that can be expected on a particular link without having to use external tools.

Test Setup |
|
AP MAC Address |
This is not an editable field. It is automatically populated with the wireless MAC address of the AP to which the SM is registered. |
Packet Size |
Choose the Packet Size to use for the throughput test. |
Duration |
Choose the time duration in seconds to use for the throughput test. |
Uplink Antenna Selection |
Uplink Antenna Selection specifies the antenna to be used in the uplink for the wireless link test. The antenna cannot be forced if it is already configured to Forced Sector Antenna or Forced Smart Antenna in the AP. |
Downlink |
This field indicates the result of the throughput test on the downlink, in Mbps. |
Uplink |
This field indicates the result of the throughput test on the uplink, in Mbps. |
Aggregate |
This field indicates the result of the aggregate throughput on the link, in Mbps. Displayed only when Downlink/Uplink Ratio is set to 75/25, 50/50 or 30/70. |
SM Ping page
Use the SM Ping page to conduct a simple test of SM IP connectivity to other devices which are reachable from the network. If no ping response is received or if “Destination Host Unreachable” is reported, the target may be down, there may be no route back to the SM, or there may be a failure in the network hardware (i.e. DNS server failure).

Ping |
|
IP Address Version |
IPv4: The ping test is conducted via IPv4 protocol. IPv6: The ping test is conducted via IPv6 protocol. |
IP Address |
Enter the IP address of the ping target. |
Number of packets (-c) |
Enter the total number of ping requests to send to the target. |
Buffer size (-s) |
Enter the number of data bytes to be sent. |
TTL (-t) |
Set the IP Time-To-Live (TTL) for multicast packets. This flag applies if the ping target is a multicast address. |
Ping Results |
Displays the ping test results. |
