Article Summary
The network assessment test consists of two components: the Basic test and the Full Ports test. The Basic test measures bandwidth, latency, speed, routes, and firewall check. It provides a report in 15 minutes or less. The Full Ports test analyzes the firewall to ensure all ports necessary for high-quality encrypted VoIP and video conferencing connections are available. It takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. Both tests display results with color-coded indicators (green, yellow, red) to indicate quality. Detailed information on the results can be accessed through blue links. The Full Ports test does not require re-entering email address if already provided in Test 1. Additional resources are available for troubleshooting and improving network performance.

The network assessment test has two testing components: the Basic test and the Full Ports test.
Check out the Before You Begin article to make sure you use a compatible browser and the best connection type for your situation.
Basic test overview
This tool tests essential network behaviors and provides a report in 15 minutes or less. It measures the effective bandwidth, latency, speed, routes between your device and the server, and jitter. It also runs a basic firewall check to verify that critical ports are available for communication between customer devices and Dialpad servers.
The next section covers the Full Ports Test.
TCP 80: HTTP for firmware downloadsTCP/UDP 443: HTTPS for images, provisioning, push notifications, and registration of WebRTC endpointsUDP 8090UDP 10000: Obihai provisioning server accessUDP 16000, 20000, 25000, 30000, 32000,and35000: Spot-check of media ports.
Note:
First-time users of the test may be asked to temporarily install a small browser plugin called BCS that is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This plugin exists for the sole purpose of running the test and it can be removed after the test is complete.

- The animation you see is for visual effect and does not mean the test is running
- Select Click to start test
- Enter your e-mail address at the prompt for a Company or user name
- If you have any issues reload the page and try again
The test will begin immediately after entering your email address. You can watch the test, or simply check back in for the results.
Basic test results
The summary page shows a series of color-coded quality indicators.
- Green: Fine
- Yellow: Needs further investigation
- Red: Bad
The results summary has multiple pages, which can be viewed by clicking the up and down arrows (
) below the column of dots.
Click on each tab to reveal additional details for each section of the test.
All blue links reveal explanations of each test element and may contain additional useful details of the test results.
If you would like detailed information on the test results, open the Full Ports Test in another tab and skip to the Deep-Dive your Test Results section of this article while the other test runs in the background.
Tip:
If you see a results bubble in yellow or red that shows a "$0" value instead of a real number, this means only that the detailed results should be examined for further details. Yellow and red results may not necessarily mean that the network has a serious problem. Check the Deep-Dive your Test Results section to investigate any alerts in the results.

Full ports test overview
The full ports test takes approximately 60 minutes and performs a thorough analysis of the firewall to check that every port essential for high-quality encrypted VoIP and video conferencing connections is available.
Be sure to review our Network Recommendations article for the full range of ports needed when using Dialpad.

As discussed in Before You Begin, complete the test using the connection type that you use most of the time.
If you usually use WiFi, then complete the tests on WiFi the first time you run the test.
If you’re a mobile user, please connect a computer to the network using a WiFi connection and run the test in your primary working location.
Full ports test results
This test checks the network firewall to ensure that the ports used for high-quality encrypted media are available for use by Dialpad.
