Objective

Test to confirm a client machine's ability to connect to the CBC backend

Resolution

Web Browser Test

1. Enter the the test URL into the address bar (adjust the domain to match the device backend).  Example of test URL with Prod05 device domain:

   https://dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net/services/registration

2. Observe the resulting web page
   • An "HTTP 405" indicates the client connected to the backend successfully

Powershell Test

1. Open the Powershell command prompt
2. Use the "tnc" command to test backend connectivity to the appropriate URL and port.  Example of a Prod05 URL test:

   tnc dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net -port 443

3. Observe connection results printed to the Powershell session.  Example of successful connection:

   ComputerName     : dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net
   TcpTestSucceeded : True
