The same navigation principle that is applied in the Home/Setup menu (shown above), applies when the test set is being operated
in any of the test applications (BERT, RFC 2544, Throughput, Loopback).
An example of independent BERT applications running on port 1 and 2 are shown below.
Port 1 is configured for Layer 3 testing
Port 2 is configured for Layer 2 testing with VLAN tag.
Both ports will run the same application e.g. BERT & BERT, RFC & RFC except for loopback mode, where any one port can be
configured in loopback mode. Loopback must be configured first however, but the second port can run any selected application.

Dual Port Navigation and Operation Tips
If one port is going to be operated in loopback mode, first configure the desired port in loopback mode. Once completed,
configure the second port with any application (BERT, RFC 2544, Throughput).
Remember to switch between ports, by selecting the correct port number from the top pull down menu, when configuring
both ports for operation.
