Firmware Update And Upgrade; Monitoring - RACOM RipEX User Manual

See chapter RipEX App notes, SNMP for RACOM RipEX
MIB table can be found there too.
2.6.4. Ping
To diagnose the individual radio links RipEX is equipped with an enhanced Ping tool. In addition to the
standard info such as the number of sent and received packets or the round trip time, it provides the
overall load, the resulting throughput, BER, PER and specific data about the quality of the radio trans-
mission, RSS and DQ for the weakest radio link on the route.
See chapter Adv. Conf., Ping for details.

2.6.5. Monitoring

TMonitoring is an advanced on-line diagnostic tool, which enables a detailed analysis of communication
over any of the interfaces of a RipEX router. In addition to all the physical interfaces (RADIO, ETH,
COM1, COM2), some internal interfaces between software modules (e.g. Terminal servers, Modus
TCP server etc.) can be monitored when such advanced diagnostics is needed.
Monitoring output can be viewed on-line or saved to a file in the RipEX (e.g. a remote RipEX) and
downloaded later.
