5: IP and Video Testing
This section describes the suite of IP and video (IPTV) functions available on the unit. These tests are
available over various interfaces on the unit, including the Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces, and modular
interfaces such as MoCA. Not all tests are available for all interfaces; see the respective documentation
for specific testing support.
Once an interface is correctly configured with routable IP information, testing from that interface should
be generally identical to any other. For example, ping testing from the Wi-Fi interface should be identical
to ping testing from the Ethernet interface, except that it is launched from a different menu. Therefore, the
information is consolidated here and applies generally to any interface that supports the respective test.
To configure an interface with routable IP information, use the IP Network Setup function (see
on page 5-1). Once setup is successful, the following tests may be available, depending upon test
support of the respective interface:
•
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE:
Your unit may or may not include all the functionality described in this section, dependent
upon your licensing agreement with Spirent. Contact an account manager for more information.
5.1 IP Network Setup
This function is used to configure the active interface as necessary to join an IP network. For example, if
you are using the 10/100 menu, this function configures the 10/100 interface with the IP routing
