Network Performance Autotest

device may act as both a DHCP server and a DNS server. An Autotest suite used to test this device would contain a DHCP server test and a DHCP server test for this device. The same Autotest suite can also contain tests for other devices.

The Default Autotest Suite

The FrameScope boots up with the <Default> suite selected. When the <Default> suite is selected, the FrameScope automatically creates an Autotest suite from the servers listed in the Network Database.

Editing Tests

Each test has parameters that specify the test’s behavior and coverage. For instance, there is a well-known port for web servers to listen on, but a web server may have been configured to listen at a different port. So, the port number is provided as a parameter with the well-known port number as the default. User names and passwords are also included as parameters for tests that can provide extra coverage by logging in to a server. The extra coverage may include reading a file or retrieving E-mail. Each server has a default test that can be performed without the user providing any set up information so that a new test can be configured with minimal effort. After selecting a specific name or address, the Edit button starts up a wizard which allows the test's parameters to be modified. See the description of each test below for more information.

Deleting Tests

The Delete button operates on the selected test or test heading. If a test is selected when the Delete button is pressed, the test is removed from the Autotest suite. If a heading such as 6 Print Server is selected, all of the print server tests will be removed from the suite.
