The configuration screen can be accessed by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) in the device list.
Setting up network tests
Note
The screen gives the option to add a description to a device; this can, for example, be the positioning of individual devices or another naming scheme to allow for better organization.
Cycle settings
Network checks repeat in a timed cycle; the length of the cycle in minutes can be set under cycle settings. The number of tests run can be either unlimited, limited by a number of cycles, or limited by a due date.
Test settings
Six configurable tests are available: Latency, PROFINET, Ping, Download, Upload, and a combined Download and Upload test. To set a test to be run, check the relevant checkbox, which will display additional test settings. All selected tests are run in each cycle.
Download and Upload
The download and upload tests allow configuration of the number of parallel streams and the size of sent packets. The end condition of the test can be either a set amount of time passing or the amount of data sent.
Latency
The latency checks the communication delay, again the number of parallel streams used, and the test length in seconds can be set. Additionally, either UDP or TCP packets and their respective size can be selected.
Ping
Ping tests the minimum time needed to send the smallest possible amount of data and receive a response; again, the time for the test can also be set. Additionally, the packet loss in percentages and jitter can be set to be measured.
Additional settings
Under the additional settings section, it is possible to select if the signal quality is shown, and if devices give audio confirmation on completed tests.
