**Available diagnostic tools on Pearl Mini**

- **Ping**: Test if the Pearl Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini can resolve a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) using the DNS server that is configured for the Pearl Mini.

- **Probe**: Check if Pearl Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini or contact Epiphan support.
