Transmission testing concepts

General

The principle of Ethernet transmission testing is that traffic is sent through a network and checked at the

other end. For single-ended testing, traffic is sent through the network to a device that loops it back to the

sending device. Therefore, traffic is generated and checked at the same location.

Fig 11 Single-Ended test method with loopback

This method is very easy to set up. A loopback device, such as SEL1, can be installed at the remote end

of the transmission loop with minimum skill requirements, and can be controlled by the tester at the local

end.

Alternatively, the sending device and the checking device may be in different locations.

Fig 12 Bi-Directional test method

Unlike the loopback method, bi-directional tests confirm the direction as well as the nature of errors. As

two full test devices are required to run a bi-directional test, set up is more complicated. However, when

they are set in Master-Slave mode, one device can control the other and so only one operator is needed.
