Tools

Verify Network Address Accessibility – verify the network address accessibility via the Ping command in standard operating systems. Press Ping to display a dialog box for you to enter the IP address/domain name and press Ping to send the test data to the set address. If the IP address/domain name is invalid, a warning is displayed and the Ping button remains inactive until the IP address becomes valid. The dialog box also displays the procedure state and result. Failed means that either the IP address was unavailable within 10 s or it was impossible to translate the domain name into an address. If a valid response is received, the response sending IP address and response waiting time in milliseconds are displayed. Press Ping again to send another query to the same address.

Packet Capture

In the Trace tab, you can launch capturing of incoming and outgoing packets on the network interface. The captured packets can be stored locally in a 4 MB buffer or remotely in the user PC. The file with captured packets can be downloaded for Wireshark processing, e.g. (www.wireshark.org).

Local Packet Capture

We recommend that you lower the video stream transmission rate below 512 kbps while capturing packets locally. When the local capture buffer is full, the oldest packets are rewritten automatically.
