2 Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro

Changing the Autotest Metrics

The FrameScope Pro provides a measure of service speed and

efficiency by emulating a client device in the network. By

making a request for service to a key device, and comparing the

results to reasonable expectations, it provides a rating of the

service. However, the default numbers used to determine the

rating may not apply to the network under test.

For example, you may know that the connection to the available

domain name server is over a slow link and this link cannot be

upgraded.

Consequently, it may be more important to have a test that is

less sensitive but provides meaningful results that can be

compared over time. The FrameScope Pro rating can be

changed. After you’ve run the test and received a result, such as

that shown below on the left, you can highlight the server

address and press Details. The screen shown in the middle

provides the measured results of the test. If you double click on

Name Lookup, you can change the rating scale to whatever

values you choose. The screen on which you do that is shown

below on the right. This can be done for all rated measurements.
