8. Setting up an Iperf Test
8.1 Required Equipment
Two laptops with iperf or jperf installed. It is beyond the scope of this manual to cover
the installation and operation of these tools. The laptops must be on the same subnet but
not necessarily the same subnet as the radios (172.20.0.0). It is not required for the user to
set a secondary IP address on the radio to perform this test. It is recommended the iperf or
jperf tests are first conducted between the laptops using an Ethernet switch or cross-over
Ethernet cable between them to verify the laptops and iperf/jperf tools.
Two or more StreamCaster radios properly configured.
8.2 Running Iperf Test
Connect a laptop to one StreamCaster radio using the Ethernet cable.
Connect the other laptop to another StreamCaster radio.
Power up the radios and verify the radios are booted and connected wirelessly.
