You can test provisioned devices to confirm they are operating correctly.

This page consists of the following sections:

Identifying and Testing a Device

You can use the following actions to identify and test a provisioned device using the Devices widget:

• Wink – sends a command to the device to perform a device-specific identification operation such as blinking a light on the device. 
  
  
• Test – sends a command to the device to test communication with the device and report key operational statistics for the device.
  

To perform these verification routines, perform the following steps:

1. Open the SmartServer IoT CMS.
   
   

2. Open the Devices widget, EDGE DEVICES tab.

   
   
   
   
3. Click the Expand button (  ) on the top right of the widget to view all the available information.
   
   
4. Click the Action button () and then select the Wink or Test action.
   
   
   
   For Wink, if the device supports winking, then the device documentation will specify how the device responds to a wink request.
   
   For Test, the test results appear similar to the example shown below.
   
   
   
   
   
5. To set up another test, scroll down and use the Count slider to set how many times the test will be performed, and then click START.
   
   
   
   An example of the Test results are shown below.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Click CLOSE to exit testing, or set up another test and then click START.
