3.28.1 Profiles
Click “Add New Profile” to create a new profile entry or click on the “Name” to mdoify the existing profile.
Profile Name:
Enter a unique name for this profile. The profile name character must be from 1 to 32.
Description:
Enter the descriptive text for this profile.
MEG Level:
The frame types used in the various tests are Y.1731 TST and 1DM frames, both of which contain a MEG
Level (MEL) field, which can be controlled with the value entered here. The MEG level ranges from 0 to 7 with 7 being
the default.
Egress Port:
Select the egress port that
the generated frames are transmitted and expectedly received.
Sequence Number Check:
When checked, looped Y.1731 TST frames are tested for out-of-order upon reception. Out-
of-order frames are frames received in a different order than they were transmitted. If an out-of-order sequence is
detected, the sub-test or trial is considered failing.
Dwell Time:
When a trial is executed, Y.1731 TST frames are transmitted for a certain period of time. When that
period has elapsed, the Dwell Time determines how long to wait before reading hardware counters and status in
order to assess the status of the trial. The required dwell time must be at least the worst case roundtrip time, and
therefore a.o. depends on the physical distance between the near and far ends. Valid range is from 1 to 10 with a
default of 2 seconds.
Type:
The RFC2544 test suite supports two types of tagging of frames on egress:
