Views: 0
 

In order to run an iPerf test to a Test Accessory or iPerf server from the LinkRunner G2 you must download the Magic iPerf app from the app store. Your unit must be claimed to Link-Live to download the app.

 

1. Connect the Test Accessory to a 1Gbps wired switch port. If you are using DHCP, please proceed to step 2. If you need to statically assign an IP to the Test Accessory, please see this article: Test Accessory: Web Server Interface

3. Connect the the LinkRunner G2 to the top wired test port on the LinkRunner G2. Please note if units are on separate networks, you can only run a TCP test, not UDP, and going through a router.

4. Press the green icon on the main home screen to view the main test app.

5. Wait for AutoTest to complete and verify the unit acquires a valid IP.

6. Launch the "Magic iPerf" app and switch the toggle button from "iPerf2" to "iPerf3".

7. Run Magic iPerf in "client" mode with these options: -c 10.0.0.115 -O3 -P4 -R -t30
In the example above, 10.0.0.115 is the IP address of the Test Accessory iPerf3 "server".
 

Option code meaning:

-O3 (omit first 3 seconds of results)
-R (reverse roles of client and server; upstream vs. downstream)
-t 30 (run test for 30 seconds instead of 10)
-P4 (use 4 parallel streams/processes for possible faster throughput.
