RMS9 Speed Checklist
Overview
Our RMS 9 Speed Checklist is designed to assist you in pin pointing and resolving any speed issues that you may be experiencing with the RMS 9 application.
Check List
Internet Service Providers
Your enjoyment of RMS 9 / RMS cloud will in large part depend on your choice of Internet Service Provider (ISP). Like all things you usually get what you pay for. Whilst the cheaper plans of some of the lesser known ISP's may be appealing it could end up being a false economy. Slow or poor quality connections will reduce the response times and may result in unexpected down times.
To date we have not experienced any problems with the following ISPs.

Questions
| Yes | No | |
| Q: Is the computer you are using connected to your modem/router using a Wi-Fi (wireless) connection? | ||
| If Yes, try testing with an Ethernet connection (network cable directly from your computer to the modem/router).
Whilst the results are only an indicator it will give you a pretty good idea of the suitability of the connection.
| ||
| Q: Are you or your staff using other applications which use even small amounts of internet bandwidth? E.g. Bit Torrent programs, Music or Video streaming (internet radio, YouTube etc)? | ||
| Q: Is the internet connection that you are using for RMS Cloud shared with the internet or Wi-Fi used by your guests? | ||
| If Yes, to increase the speed of your RMS application ensure that you distribute your internet connections separately within your property to maximize the available bandwidth for RMS. | ||
| Q: Is the internet connection that you are using for RMS Cloud shared with your Phone, Fax or EFTPOS? | ||
| If Yes, to increase the speed of your RMS application you could install a Line Splitter for your Router to ensure that the Phone/Fax will not cause issues with your internet line. | ||

WinMTR Test Instructions
Packet loss testing between your systems and the RMS Cloud server.
http://winmtr.net/download-winmtr/
Step 1 - Download
Step 2 - Installation
You will get a .zip archive containing two folders WinMTR-32 and WinMTR-64.
Both contain two files: WinMTR.exe and README.TXT.
Just extract the WinMTR.exe for your platform (32 or 64 bit) and click to run it.
Step 3 - Usage
Start WinMTR
In the 'Host' field enter the following address cloudau.rms.com.au
Select the 'Start' button
Once the Sent Field in the top line reaches over 100 select the 'Export Text' button
Save this file as MTR Test DD.MM.YY HH.MM for reference e.g. 'MTR Test 04.04.13 16.45'.
Troubleshooting WinMTR
A. I type in the address and nothing happens
Usually this has to do with antivirus or firewall applications. Stop all applications when doing debugging or when using WinMTR.
B. I get an error saying the program cannot be executed.
You are running the 64 bit version on a 32 bit platform. Try the WinMTR.exe stored in the WinMTR_x32 folder.
