Chapter 6 Multiple Streams Testing

Loopback testing

HST-3000 Ethernet Testing User’s Guide

Loopback testing

Loopback testing allows you to transmit multiple streams of 
Ethernet, IP, or TCP/UDP traffic from one HST-3000 (or 
another JDSU Ethernet test set), and then loop the streams 
back through a second unit on the far end of a circuit.

When looping back multiple streams of traffic, if an enabled 
stream does not successfully loop, the unit will not loop up the 
remaining streams. For example, if you are trying to loop up a 
series of four enabled streams, and stream one and stream 
two successfully loop, but stream three fails, the unit will not 
loop up stream three or stream four.

For step-by-step instructions, see 

“Loopback testing” on 

page 87

Chapter 3 “Ethernet Testing”

Viewing test results for a stream

After you start a test, the Summary category appears showing 
an overview of the test results. You can view test results for an 
individual traffic stream by selecting the Streams category, 
and then specifying the stream number.

To view test results for a particular stream

1 Configure and run a multiple streams test.

2 Press the Display soft key, and then select the Streams 

category.

A menu appears listing Stream 1 through Stream 8.

3 Select the stream you want to view results for.

The test results for the stream appear. For descriptions of the 
test results associated with multiple stream testing, see 

“Streams results” on page 289
