Testing a terminal’s network speed
Once you have connected the adaptors where you plan to use them, use the
procedure below to test the speed of each terminal’s network connection to the
master. Make sure that the terminal has already been registered to a master (see
page 7).
1. Press and hold the terminal’s SETUP button for about 1 second.
The indicators on the terminal light one at a time in succession for a few
seconds.
2. The indicators light for a few seconds. This indicates the network speed test
result.
3. Refer to the chart below to determine the network speed.
4. If you are not satisfied with the speed test result, connect the terminal to a
different wall outlet and repeat the test.
Note
At least one indicator (“Good” network speed) must be lit in order to use the
terminal.
If you are not satisfied with the speed test result and have tried connecting the
terminal to different wall outlets, refer to the troubleshooting section (see
page 13).
If the electrical conditions in your home changes after performing the speed
test, network speed may also change.
Once you are satisfied with the terminal’s speed test result, you are ready to
connect each adaptor to a network device (broadband router, hub, computer,
network printer, network camera, etc.; see page 9).
