🌐 Network Test Guide for JotPhone
Running a network test is essential to ensure a smooth and high-quality communication experience. This guide explains when you should perform a network test and how to do it.
⏱️ When to Perform a Network Test
You should consider running a network test in the following scenarios:
- Network Changes
Before making changes such as updating routers, modifying firewall settings, or switching internet providers, run a test to avoid compatibility issues. - Call Quality Issues
If you experience dropped calls, poor audio, or delays, a network test helps identify the root cause. - New Installations
Before setting up a new VoIP system or adding users, ensure your network can handle the increased load. - Periodic Checks
Regular testing helps detect and fix potential issues before they affect call quality. - Performance Optimization
Use network tests to identify areas for improvement, such as bandwidth allocation or QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
⚙️ How to Run a Network Test
Follow these steps to perform a network test:
- Open the network test link
