Note
:
PSA Software will automatically create chassis-specific subdirectories under the \Results\ path for storage of
PSE Conformance test reports. These default reporting locations (i.e. directories) may optionally be overridden by
entries in the PSE local configuration files described earlier in Section 2.4.4.
The standard PSE Conformance Spreadsheet Report also includes a spreadsheet page for the 802.3af Conformance Test
Limits and a “Note!” page describing the various PSE Conformance Tests and all measured parameters. Finally, it
offers a “Sifos Interop Index”
(Figure 3.33)
page that provides an 802.3af interoperability “index” and information
describing its calculation.
Test data from the
Test Sequencer
may alternatively be captured in
a flat
Text File Report (Figure 3.34)
presenting test results in the
exact order that testing is performed. This file may be cut and
pasted into a spreadsheet if desired. It does not include any
information beyond that generated directly by the various individual
conformance tests that are sequenced. As with the
Spreadsheet
Report
, the
Text File Report
will include a time-date header. The
Text File Report
will be unique to each test sequence as it embeds
a time-date stamp within the file name, assuming that the
Standard
Time-Date File
control is selected. Optionally, users may choose
to specify a file name (
User Specified File
) and enter that name in
the
Enter File Name
field. When this is done, the file name should
include just a file name, not a directory path nor a file extension.
The standard extension for all
Text File Reports
will be “.txt”.
During the
Test Sequencer
execution, the
Sequence Status
will
display the test cycle, the current test, and the current slot-port.
3.3. PSE Multi-Port Test Suite Menus
Note
:
The PSE Multi-Port Test Suite Menus will only be activated if the connected PSA or PSA-PL is enabled for PSE
Multi-Port Testing.
3.3.1. PSE Multi-Port Configure Resources Menu
The
PSE Multi-Port Configuration
menu
(Figure 3.36)
provides a method to configure test resources for the Multi-
Port Test Suite. The
PSE Multi-Port Test Suite
is the subject of Section 6.
Unlike PSE Conformance Testing where testing is conducted on a single test port within a single PSA chassis at any
one time, Multi-Port PSE Testing involves simultaneous and synchronized usage of many PSA test ports across one or
more PSA chassis’. As such, a special configuration menu is provided to establish the PSA chassis and test port
resources to be assigned for a Multi-Port test session.
The
Multi-Port Configure Resources
menu allows up to 8 PSA chassis’, each with up to 24 test ports to be assigned to
a Multi-Port test session. This means the maximum number of test ports allowed for Multi-Port testing is 192. Within
the menu, the
Clear
button may be used to clear out any previous configurations prior to creating a new resource
configuration. PSA resources must be configured starting with PSA 1 and working upwards until all required test ports
are assigned.
