Overview
The Diagnostics page allows administrators to perform device-level network troubleshooting directly from the Cloud Controller. It provides built-in tools to test connectivity, routing, DNS resolution, and wireless environment visibility for a selected network device.
This page helps isolate network, ISP, DNS, and device-related issues without requiring local access to the device.
Screenshot Reference
📸 Figure 1: Diagnostics Page – Device Tools Overview
Displays diagnostic tools such as Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup, Packet Capture, ARP Table, Speed Test, and Wi-Fi Scan for a selected network device.
Navigation
Path:
Select Network → Monitor → Network Devices → Action → Diagnostics
Device Selection
At the top of the page, the following device details are displayed:
Device – Selected device MAC address
Model – Device model identifier
MAC Address – Hardware address of the selected device
Administrators can switch devices using the Device selector dropdown.
Diagnostic Tabs
The Diagnostics page includes multiple tabs for different troubleshooting functions.
Tools
Ping
The Ping tool is used to test basic network connectivity between the selected device and a destination IP address or hostname.
Options:
Source IP Address – Select source interface (Default or specific)
IP / Host – Destination IP address or hostname
Ping / Stop / Clear controls
Output:
Packets sent and received
Packet loss
Average, minimum, and maximum latency
Use cases:
Verify internet reachability
Check LAN or WAN connectivity
Identify packet loss or latency issues
Traceroute
The Traceroute tool displays the network path taken to reach a destination.
Options:
Uplink – Select uplink interface
IP / Host – Destination address
Run button to start the trace
Use cases:
Identify routing issues
Detect ISP or upstream latency
Troubleshoot unreachable destinations
DNS Look Up
The DNS Look Up tool resolves a hostname using a specified DNS server.
Options:
Hostname – Domain name to resolve
DNS Server – DNS server IP (e.g., 8.8.8.8)
Run button
Use cases:
Verify DNS resolution
Troubleshoot domain access issues
Validate DNS server configuration
Packet Capture
The Packet Capture tab allows capturing network traffic directly from the device for detailed analysis.
Use cases:
Deep packet inspection
Troubleshooting protocol-level issues
Analysing application traffic
Captured packets can be downloaded and analysed using external tools such as Wireshark.
ARP Table
The ARP Table displays IP-to-MAC address mappings learned by the device.
Use cases:
Identify connected devices
Troubleshoot IP conflicts
Validate Layer-2 connectivity
Speed Test
The Speed Test tool measures internet bandwidth performance from the selected device.
Metrics include:
Download speed
Upload speed
Latency
Use cases:
Verify ISP bandwidth
Compare performance across devices
Troubleshoot slow internet complaints
AT Command
The AT Command tab allows administrators to execute AT (Attention) commands directly on supported devices for advanced modem-level diagnostics.
Interface Components
Command input field – Enter a valid AT command (e.g. AT)
Run – Executes the command
Clear – Clears the output window
Response output – Displays raw device response
Wi-Fi Scan
The Wi-Fi Scan tab displays nearby wireless networks detected by the Router/access point.
Information shown may include:
SSID
Channel
Signal strength
Security type
Use cases:
Identify channel congestion
Optimize RF planning
Troubleshoot wireless interference
