The Home menu can be accessed at anytime during operation

by pressing the Home key on the rubber keypad. The screen is

divided into three presentation areas:

Left

Middle

Right

Home Menu

LEDs: Displays soft LEDs associated with Errorsand Alarms

Tools: IP connection status, Advanced IP features

(Net Wiz, WiFi Wiz, VoIP, and IPTV applications),

Fiber Scope, ReVeal EZ Connect

Utilities: Applications (Help, Settings, Files) which

are common to all VePAL handheld test sets

Test Applications specic to the test set (RFC2544,

BERT, Throughput, IP, Advanced Tools, Loopback,

Setup, NetWiz)

Test Port: Test interface selections

LASER On/Off: Enables/Disables the Laser

transmitter on optical ports (SFP or XFP)MX Discover: For loopback device detection

If a Layer 3 test is going to be performed, you must rst go to IP

in the Home menu and establish an IP connection. If a Layer 2

test is to be performed, it is recommended that an IP connection

also be established to send loop up/loop down commands to a

remote unit.

To establish an IP connection, from the IP menu, congure the

connection for static or DHCP. If static, congure the Local IP,

Subnet, and Gateway IP addresses. Congure a DNS server

and VLAN tag if applicable.

IP Connection

Use the assigned

Local IP address for

the Local/Source

IP address in the

RFC2544 IP header

setup.

When configuration

is complete, press

. . If the con-

nection is successful,

the IP address, Gate-

way, and other elds

will be populated and

the Connect button will

toggle to Disconnect.

1. Connect to the test interface using the following:

− CAT 5/5E/6 cable to connect to a 10/100/1000Base-T

interface − Multimode ber patch cord to connect to a 1000Base-SX

or 10GE 850 nm interface

− Single-mode ber patch cord to connect to a 1000Base-

LX or 10GE 1310 nm interface

2. Power on the unit

3. Tap on the Setup menu

4. Congure the test port settings in the Setup/Port Setup screen5. Verify that the link is UP

8. Congure the pull down menu elds in the Header tab rst

− Tap or scroll down with the keypad and press ENTER to

select the pull down box

−

Tap or press ENTER to select an item in the pull down

menu.

− Select the Test Layer, Frame Type, and VLAN tag if

applicable.

9. Congure the MAC

address (for Layer

2), IP address (forLayer 3), VLAN tag

if applicable.

Tap the frame

RX Filter Tab: Enable

the RX lters for the

applicable header

elds. For end-to-end

Layer 2 and Layer 3,

it is recommendedthat all filters be

enabled. In some

applications, it is

recommended that

only the IP address

lters be enabled; for

example an IP routed

test scenario.


Data Tab: In the

RFC2544 applicaon,

the data tab has

n o s e l e c t i o n . A

proprietary VeEX data

paern is used for the

RFC2544 trac set.

To configure fields that

require alpha or alpha-

numeric entry, such as

MAC and IP addresses,

a configuration keypad

will appear when the

applicable eld is selected.

Check the box to theright of each frame size

to test.

To test a frame size

d i f ferent f rom the

recommended frame

sizes, press ‘Add Frame’

to add up to two usercongurable frame sizes.

User must manually

send the Loop Up

command before the

start of the test and

manually send a LoopDown command after

the test has ended.

10. Select the frame sizes to test

− Go to the Frames tab to select the different frame sizes

to test.

11. Congure the control commands to loop up and loop down

the far end test partner (another TX300).

− Enter the Destination IP address. This is the local IP

address of the far end unit.

Note: If the far end test partner is already in loopback mode

(precongured locally at the far end), there is no need to make

use of the Control window.

Throughput Test Setup

Latency Test Setup


12. Congure the Throughput, Latency, Frame Loss, and Burst

test parameters. Thresholds can also be congured.

− Congure the MAX Transmit Rate, Resolution, Test

Duration, Step Size, MIN and MAX Durations, and

Repetitions per test

MAX Rate=Max transmit rate as a % of line rate or in Mbps

Latency can be tested at the Throughput Rate or a congurableCustom rate

7/23/2019 QG_D02-00-011P_TX300_RFC2544_C00-2




Threshold Setup

A maximum Step Size of 10%

can be congured

Frame Loss Test Setup

Burst Test Setup

User thresholds can be congured for the Throughput and

Latency tests. If enabled, pass/fail criteria will be applied.

MIN and MAX Burst Duraons must be congured. A MIN

duraon of 2 seconds is allowed

Once all tabs have

been congured, the

test can be started.

Press

Note: If testing in

loopback mode, rst

loop up the far end

unit before starng

the test.
