The configuration parameters (header, bandwidth, etc. for each application (on each of the ports) are completely
independent from one another. All test feature combinations are allowed and completely independent (Loopback,
BERT, Throughput, RFC2544,VSAM) in dual port operation. However, some advanced tools, such as IPTV, VLAN
scan, Packet Capture, etc. are available in single port testing mode only. The user interface will provide an error
message when a feature is not available in dual port operation.
When the soft LEDs are steady green, this indicates that the module is ready to perform different tests. This may require turning the
LASER On
button for optical interfaces or tapping the
History
tab to clear blinking LED reminders of past Errors and Alarms (test
results are not affected).
