Using an appropriate tool to measure network
performance is highly recommended. Modena
Hub has an iPerf3 server implementation on-
board that can be launched from the Advanced
section of the web admin (see below). iPerf3
is a widely used, cross-platform tool that
can produce standardized performance
measurements for any network, with free clients
available for all major platforms.
Device set up
Modena Hub can be configured from a standard
web browser by connecting to the hub IP
address and entering the web administration
(see Network connection diagrams). To enter the
web admin, navigate to the hub IP address, click
the three-dot menu on the top right of the page
and select the Admin menu item. The default
password is "admin".
