vSTA Side Bar
In the web-based user interface you can create scenarios that consist of
one or more groups of virtual stations. The group configuration defines a
test sequence that the EmulationEngine will activate to exercise the
System Under Test. Virtual stations can be configured individually or by
group. In internal mode, you can configure each virtual station and/or
group to generate traffic to the system being tested. You can also
configure virtual stations to operate in external mode where an external
load generator will generate the traffic.
New Group: Select this button in the vSTA side bar to define a new
group in a scenario.
Edit Group: Select this button in the vSTA side bar to modify the
definition of a group.
Delete Group: Select this button in the vSTA side bar to remove a group
and all of its virtual stations from a scenario.
Add vSTA to Group: Select this button in the vSTA side bar to define a
new virtual station in a scenario group.
vSTA->New Group
The New Group dialog is used to define new groups of virtual stations in a
scenario. It is a tabbed dialog with the following sections: vSTA, Traffic,
Runtime, On Error, and Encryption.
vSTA->New Group->vSTA
The vSTA section of the New Emulation Group dialog defines the range of
IP and MAC addresses to be used by virtual stations. The range of MAC
addresses specified in this dialog must be within the range of MAC
addresses defined by the WLAN Base MAC Address and WLAN MAC Mask
in EmulationEngine configuration (see EE->Configure EE).
