Network Stress Test

The network stress test allows you to simulate traffic on your network during a normal day. Theatre Manger will attempt to send data to each of the workstations on the network to verify that they reiceve and transmit data correctly. To troubleshoot your network you may need to add workstations and hubs one at a time to determine where the fault lays. As with other database utilities this procedure should be run during down time to avoid disruptions.
