【Example Networking】

Configure the VLAN so that the server and AP / AC are on the same network segment. Ensure that the terminal can ping the IP of the server successfully.

 

【Server installation】

The installation of SpeedTest server involves the installation of Apache, PHP, and SpeedTest, you can choose one of the following two installation methods:

(1) Install apache and php separately (not recommended), you need to download the installation package separately and configure php manually.

(2) Use integrated packages such as BitNami WAMP Stack, WampServer and XAMPP (recommended).

XAMPP Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/

 

【SpeedTest installation】

1.       Download SpeedTest software

files 1：http://install.speedtest.net/httplegacy/http_legacy_fallback.zip

files 2：https://codeload.github.com/librespeed/speedtest/zip/master

2.       Install SpeedTest

For example, if the SpeedTest version is installed on the XAMPP, delete the original files in the htdocs directory in the XAMPP installation directory, decompress the installation packages of SpeedTest files 1 and 2, and copy the files in the speedtest directory in file 1 and the files in the backend directory in file 2 to this directory, after the installation, the path information is as follows:

 

【Start Test】

1.       Double-click xampp-control.exe to start, you can see the following page, click start to start Apache to complete the website construction (if you failed, start the xampp-start.exe), and you can see that the status is running. (Remember the port value on the left of the Port column, we'll use it in next step).

2.       Set the configured server IP and port in the CloudCampus APP (default 80)

3.       Then click to start speed measurement. After the test is complete, you can click  in the upper right corner to view the history.

Note that you can also measure intranet speed in the automatic test(see Tool-Automatic Test-Intranet Speed Test). The IP and port configured here are also used there by default.

 

【Precautions】

If you cannot start Apache Server, it may caused by the default port 80 being occupied, you may need to manually modify the port number

1.       Open the httpd.conf file. This file is in the "apache/conf" folder under the XAMPP installation directory

2.       Find listen 80 and modify it to a custom port number (such as 8080, 8888 ...)

3.       Restart the Apache server

4.       After port is changed, the server port configuration on APP must be modified accordingly.
