Tap on the Copy button on the bottom of the Header or Service Attributes tabs to copy frame parameters spe-
cific to that tab to other services. For example, pressing Copy on the Header tab will only transfer header para-
meters to other services.
MX Discover and Control Settings
The Control button offers additional loopback control settings including User Defined and OAM Discover.
For instructions on how to loop up/down the test set with another test set or device, please refer to "MX Dis-
cover and Control Settings" on page 132 .
Peer-to-Peer Setup
Peer-to-Peer and asymmetric testing via the P2P Setup button is also available.
Remote Partner Control
When the local unit connects to the remote (peer) partner, it loads the same configuration profile (header,
traffic, and frame size) to the remote partner, with the MAC and IP addresses inverted. From the peer-to-peer
menu, asymmetric testing becomes available.
Asymmetrical links provide different line rates in the two directions. To verify the information for both the low
and the high rates of the link, the user needs to send a test signal from one instrument located at one end of the
link to an instrument at the other end of the link and vice versa to test traffic capacity. The two test instruments
have to be synchronized because the tests defined in RFC 2544 require the receiver to know the contents of
the test signal to be transmitted in detail.
The test set offers an automated RFC 2544 test application to perform throughput, frame loss, and burstability
tests in a local-remote unit setup. The user first configures the test setup in the local unit. Once initiated, the
local unit transfers the setup information to the remote unit via the line under test. Upon completion, the remote
unit transfers the test results back to the local unit, enabling the user to read the results for both directions of
the link on the local unit.
