The available test results are the following: 240 ³ Codec is the VoIP coder/decoder in use as detected by the unit. ³ Received Packets display the total number of received VoIP packets.
Running a VoIP Test Reading Results Jitter Analysis The Jitter Analysis tab allows you to view the PASS/FAIL status of the quality of the call by displaying an estimate of the variance of the real-time transport protocol (RTP) data packet inter-arrival time. The available test results are: ³ Jitter Average is the continuous running average jitter. ³ Jitter Maximum is the maximum jitter detected. ³ Std. Deviation is the standard deviation based on the continuous sample size.
Running a VoIP Test Reading Results HPNA Info The HPNA Info tab allows you to view the results of the HPNA devices detected on the network. ³ Device Detected displays the total number of detected HPNA devices on the network. ³ Refresh button allows you to rerun the DevInfo Test and update the page with new data. ³ Device MAC Address lists all the MAC addresses for the detected HPNA devices. ³ Mode displays Master or Client for the selected device.
Running a VoIP Test Reading Results HPNA Statistics The HPNA Statistics tab allows you to view counter statistics of the selected HPNA device. ³ Select Device lists all the MAC addresses of the detected HPNA devices on the network. ³ Tx Packets is the number of packets sent. ³ Rx Packets is the number of packets received. ³ Tx Bytes is the count of bytes sent. ³ Rx Bytes is the count of bytes received. ³ Rx CRC Packets is a count of cyclical redundancy check (CRC) errors received.
