In the burst test, frames are always transmitted at the maximum rate for a given minimum and maximum burst duration.
Minimum Duration:
Selectable in the range 2 to 999 seconds. Default value is 2 seconds.
This is the duration of the first burst.
Maximum Duration:
Selectable up to 999 seconds. The default value is 20 seconds.
This is the duration of the second burst, which must be greater than the minimum burst.
Repetitions:
Selectable in the range 1 to 100. The default value is 1.
This is the amount of times that the burst test will be repeated for each test frame size.

15.3.1.6 Starting/Stopping a RFC 2544 Measurement
Once all configurations have been made, the user can start the RFC 2544 test (press the
Start
icon on the top right section of
the screen). The following are two scenarios of how to prepare and start the unit for RFC 2544 testing.
Note:
If testing on the fiber ports, make sure the LASER is turned On before starting the test.
Far End Unit in Manual Loopback Mode
If the far-end unit (another MX) is already in a manual loopback mode, do not send a loop up command since it is
not necessary
Once the correct control settings are configured, the user can start the test
The selected tests will run automatically. When all the tests are complete the test will stop automatically. If the RFC 2544 test
suite needs to be stopped before they are done, then simply press the
Stop
button, located in the actions drop-down menu. The
status of each selected test can be seen in the Results tab.
Far End Unit Controlled with Loop Up/Down Commands
If the far-end unit is not manually looped back, then it must first receive a loop up command from the control unit
before the RFC 2544 test suite can be started
To loop up the far-end unit with the manual mode loop up/down commands, configure the control settings mode to
manual
Enter the MAC and/or IP address of the far-end unit
Send the loop up command by pressing
Loop Up
Once the far-end unit has been looped back, start the test by pressing the
Start
button. When the all of the selected test are
completed, the RFC 2544 test suite will stop automatically. Once all tests have been completed and there is no need to test
again, go back to the Control tab, and press the
Loop Down
button. This will send a loop down command to the far-end unit to
remove the loopback that is in place.
Note:
If the unit is in Advanced SLA mode, the RFC 2544 test runs simultaneously with the background.
