2Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro
Changing the Autotest Metrics
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. See Chapter 5, “Network Performance Analyzer Reference”.
