BD Address Assignment
Figure 40: BD Address Assignment
The
BD Address Assignment
field defines different ways the PLT can handle the device BD address.
The available modes are
Standard
,
Range
,
Load
from
file
and
Scan
mode.
The
Standard
,
Range
, and
Load from file
modes are similar. These have a
Start BD address,
which
is the initial address that the PLT session begins. The
Next BD address
field holds the BD address
that will be used on the next PLT run, so the BD address assignment can be continued even after the
GUI PLT is closed. For that reason, the user cannot alter the
Next BD address
. The
Next BD address
initial value is the same as the
Start BD address
when the PLT session begins.
Note:
In CFG PLT only the Start BD address is given. The assignment of the actual device BD
addresses occurs in the GUI PLT at the beginning of each test run.
Note:
The only invalid BD address is
00:00:00:00:00:00
.
Standard Mode
describes the available options for the
Standard
mode. In this mode, the first active DUT
takes the
Next BD address
. This BD address is incremented by one and assigned to the next active
DUT until all active DUTs have a BD address assigned to them.
This assignment mode never runs out of BD addresses and it will continue assigning addresses until
the
Next BD address
reaches
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
.
Table 27: BD Address Assignment - Standard Mode

Description
Start BD address
The BD address that the PLT session has started with.
Next BD address
The BD address that will be used in the first active DUT of the next PLT run.
Range Mode
describes the available options for the
Range
mode. This mode is the same as
Standard
mode except for the additional
End BD address
.
Sine a
‘Start BD address’ and an ‘End BD address’ exist, the total amount of devices to be tested can
be calculated.
Therefore, this mode enables the
