The network tests are available to you in toolstar®testLX. With these you can test the local LAN and WLAN network cards, draw a loop over 2 network cards and also include the local infrastructure.
Rapid test
The quick test starts immediately without options and runs an internal throughput, integrity and ping test.
Internal throughput test
Here you have the following options:
- Duration: Time
Here you set how long the test should run in hours, minutes or seconds - Duration: Number of packets
Here you can set a number of packets for internal transmission instead of a time - Package size
Here you can select how large a package should be. 100, 500, 1000 or 1500 bytes. This attitude also applies to time. - Test variant
Here you can select either test plug (not offered by toolhouse. A simple loop-back plug is expected) or internal loop.
Internal integrity test
Here you have the following options:
- Duration: Time
Here you set how long the test should run in hours, minutes or seconds - Duration: Number of packets
Here you can set a number of packets for internal transmission instead of a time - Package size
Here you can select how large a package should be. 100, 500, 1000 or 1500 bytes. This attitude also applies to time. - Test variant
Here you can select either test plug (not offered by toolhouse. A simple loop-back plug is expected) or internal loop.
Reactivity (LX ping)
Here you have the following options:
- Number of pings
How many internal pings should be sent? - Packet size
How large should the data packet of each ping be in bytes? - Pause between pings
How many hours, minutes and seconds should you wait between each ping?
WiFi network scan
This test searches for nearby Wi-Fi networks. If at least one network is found (authentication is not necessary) the test is passed.
WiFi network presence test
Here you can specifically check whether a WLAN with a specific SSID is found. For example, your own company network.
Test over 2 LAN cards on the same system
You can also run all tests internally in the same device using 2 cards by connecting them using a suitable cable. The tests then run from card A to card B and vice versa and the classic tests for speed and integrity of the packets are checked.
Infrastructure testing on a system with 2 network cards
You can also connect two network cards but also run the cable through the local infrastructure. This allows you to not only check the device and its maps, but also the route of other devices on the way from map A to map B.
