1. Connect the physical wires between the endpoints, from router-to-unit and unit-to-STB.
2. Verify that communications between the bridged endpoints are restored. In this example, you should
be able to see the video on the TV.
3. Set up and run the desired test on the unit.
The following notes apply:
•
Following successful IP Network Setup, you can also perform single-ended active tests while the link
is bridged, in either direction. In the previous example, you should be able to ping the STB if you
know its IP address, as well as anywhere upstream, including the internet.
•
You can use either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cables for any connections to the unit.
3.9.2 Passive Video Quality of Service (QoS)
Select

.
The passive video quality test operates identically to the active version, with the following exceptions:
•
Instead of actively joining a video stream, the unit monitors an existing stream on the bridged link.
Therefore, the video stream must be active between the bridged endpoints before the test can begin.
•
Because the unit itself does not need to join the stream, the passive test supports both unicast and
multicast streams. Existing stream traffic can be identified by the specified IP address and port alone.
