Testing Connections between Mediation Engines

After the mediation engines have been configured in the ME Management page, the link between any two mediation engines (including Mediation Engine Connector) may be tested by clicking Start Connection Test button. A ping is sent by each mediation engine and by Mediation Engine Connector to each other in order to determine the link quality presented by the Round trip time value.

Navigate to Mediation Engines, and then Connection Test.
Click on a row to select a Mediation Engine.
Click Start Connection Test.

The Status is displayed as OK in case the source and destination mediation engines are connected to each other, or Failed otherwise.
