NetScout Test Accessory

The Netscout test accessory is a small device roughly the size and shape of a LinkSprinter that acts as an iPerf server in your pocket. Its purpose is to provide performance and availability testing . The iPerf Test Accessory can run off batteries or PoE power and provides a simple way for users to conduct performance tests on their network.

Much like the other test accessories available in the AirCheck range the iPerf is managed by Link-Live and is discoverable by the AirCheck when running a performance test.

The iPerf has the ability to be controlled via a web interface, simply by inputting the iPerf Test Accessory. (Acquiring direct from Link-Live or by discovering the Test Accessory from your main handheld tester).

From the interface it is possible to keep track of status including:

Settings

• IP Configuration
• Proxy Configuration

Debug Information

• Log Files
• Log Level
• Nearest Switch Test
• Language

Features:

• User can select to test TCP or UDP throughput
• iPerf version is 3.x
• Test can be initiated after connecting to an AP
• Our new Test Accessory for the AirCheck takes all the trouble out of setting up an iPerf server

– Test Accessory will be managed by LinkLive

– Test Accessories are discoverable and will automatically list on the AirCheck if found on thesame subnet that the AirCheck is attached to.

– If AirCheck can reach Link-Live, it will also pull a list of available Test Accessories from the cloud.
