The Detailed Diagnostics can be found within the Diagnostics Window in the WorkLink App. It is a diagnostic tool that shows in specific details, the data traffic across the Audio and Video channels. The Info tab shows connection activities and status of the servers the user is connected to at the time of the Remote Assistance session.

 

How to view Detailed Diagnostics

1. Tap the Settings gear in the top right corner to launch the Diagnostics Window.

2. Select "Diagnostics" to open the detailed diagnostic window

 

Info Channel

Tap the Info tab to view details of active/inactive servers and their connection. Particularly, the Master Server, Turn Server and the Tunnel Server. You will see "Connected" for Master Server and "Reachable" for Turn Server and Tunnel Server for active connection.

• • • Master Server is the main or primary server. The WorkLink app uses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) communication with the master server. The TCP  manages the availability status of all users. If TCP is not available on the network it will fall back to UDP. This allows the app to have additional ways to communicate with the servers, providing communication reliability.

    • A TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT) server is a media relay/proxy that allows peers to exchange UDP or TCP media traffic whenever one or both parties are behind Network Address Translators (NAT) or firewalls.

    • Tunnel Server allows the use of the Internet, which is a public network, to convey data on behalf of a private network.
