Run diagnostic tests using the device screen
You can access useful diagnostic tools from the device screen when you select Settings > Network and select Connectivity Status. The Pearl-2 has additional diagnostic tools found on the second page under Network Tools.
Available diagnostic tools for all Pearl-2s:
Connectivity status: Display the status of critical network connections
Ping: Test if the Pearl-2 can reach a specified destination server on the network. Not all networks support ping.
Trace route: Trace the route that packet traffic takes to get from the Pearl-2 to a specified destination server on the network. Not all networks support traceroute.
Bandwidth test: Display the available upload and download bandwidth speed in Mbps up to a maximum bandwidth of 1000 Mbps.
Domain name resolution: Confirm that the Pearl-2 can resolve a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) using the DNS server that is configured for the Pearl-2.
Probe: Check if Pearl-2 can establish communication to a specific port on a network host using a network protocol that you specify. Supported network protocols are: TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTMP, and RTMPS.
To troubleshoot networking issues yourself, try to ping the IP address of your Pearl-2 or do a traceroute to a server such as 8.8.8.8. If you are unable to resolve your networking issues, contact your network administrator and provide them the IP address and MAC address of your Pearl-2 or contact Epiphan support.
