Setup Throughput Test Environment Equipment Requirement: Five(5) - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Setup Throughput Test Environment Equipment Requirement: • Five(5) – MeshAP 3100 Wireless Mesh Access Point (Antennas, PoEs) • Ten(10) – Antenna Attenuators • One(1) – NetAngel Server (PC or Notebook) • One(1) – NetAngel Client (PC or Notebook)

Setup Overview Rotate Unit Rotate (180°) Unit (180°) 1 st Hop 2 nd Hop 3 rd Hop 5 th Hop 4 th Hop

Setup Overview 2m 5GHz free space attenuation = 52.4dB 200m 5GHz free space attenuation = 92.4dB Therefore, 2m with 40dB attenuation = 200m distance L=2m L=2m L=2m L=2m

Setup Throughput Test Environment Antenna Attenuator Test under short distance environment with high gain antennas require Antenna Attenuators on each node (Backhaul Only). 5GHz Antenna Place Attenuators between 5GHz antennas and MeshAP antenna connectors 20dB Antenna Attenuator (2x) For Both 5GHz Antennas (Backhaul) 5GHz Antenna

Setup Throughput Test Environment Node to Node Setup Rotate 2 nd Hop node, and 4 th Hop node to allow Backhaul Antennas to be leveled with each adjacent node for optimal linkage in short distance test for high gain antenna. 1 st Hop 2 nd Hop L=2m Level Antennas between Node-to-node Rotate UP Unit (180°) UP

Setup Throughput Test Environment NetAngel - Performance Testing Software NetAngel Server Direct Ethernet Cable connecting Client PC to each MeshAP NetAngel Node to test actual Client Backhaul throughput

Setup Throughput Test Environment Software - NetAngel Step 1: Run NetAngel Software on both Server and Client PC Step 2: Set Server IP Address from Client side of the NetAngel Step 3: Go to Setting to set proper TCP Buffer Size

Setup Throughput Test Environment Software - NetAngel Step 5: Step 4: Set TCP Buffer Size: Set to 512K Go to “ Advanced ” Click “OK”
