About Ethernet TE testing
In Ethernet TE mode, you can use the Product Name/Family Brand to
emulate Ethernet terminal equipment by connecting to an Ethernet LAN
or to the Ethernet port on the customer's modem. After connecting to the
circuit, you can then use trace route, FTP, the web browser, or IP Ping to
test for connectivity.
You can also ping through the modem to a network switch or web
address to test for connectivity.
To select Ethernet TE mode
– From the Home screen, highlight Ethernet , and then press the
RESULTS key.
