Event Log:
Circular or Blocked. Up to 1000 event logs can be stored.
Circular - only the latest events will be stored if there are over 1000 event logs. The oldest event will be deleted so
that the new event can be added.
Blocked event - only the maximum number of events will be stored; any event that occurs after the 1000th event will
not be stored. Event logs consist of a log of the start of test, end of test, errors, alarms, frames loss, etc. The log will
have a timestamp, type of event, and count (number of errors occurring in that instant).
TX Start:
Tx & Rx, or Tx Separate. Configure how the measurements are started when in BERT and Multiple Streams test
modes
Tx & Rx - Transmitter and receiver are turned on at the same time, and the Tx and Rx measurements start at the
same time at the start of the test.
Tx Separate - independent control (Start/Stop) of the transmitter is enabled. At the start of the test only the receiver is
turned on - the user must start the transmitter manually.
OAM Enable:
On / Off.
When OAM is enabled, the MX300 supports the IEEE 802.3ah EFM standard for discovery and loopback control of
OAM-enabled devices.

6.6 Dual Port Navigation (MX120 only)
When Dual Port mode is selected in the Home/Setup/Port menu, the MX120 operates a combination of two ports independently.
The Setup shows what interface combinations are possible in dual port mode. Whatever the combination, the User Interface (UI)
navigation remains the same.
If you are already familiar with the MX100, then the MX120 simply adds one small navigation change. This change is the port
window and pull down menu at the top of the screen.
If pull down selection shows "P1" this means that the UI that you are currently viewing (including all associated
configurations) all apply to port 1 only.
If the selection is changed to "P2" this means that UI you are currently viewing (including all associated configurations) all
apply to port 2 only.
