Test method • Local bidirectional: Is a test method that runs between Port
A and Port within the same test unit. In these tests both
ports operate as traffic generators and analysers and
therefore the test traffic runs in both transmission direc-
tions. The Local bidirectional test method applies to the
RFC 6349 test only
Remote management
UDP port
UDP port to be used for in-band signalling in asymmetric
tests configured to run in IP endpoint mode.
The in-band signalling generated in IP endpoint mode is
made up of UDP packets. These packets are directed to the
55230 port. This port may be modified when required like in
the case when the default port is blocked by a firewall.
The in-band signalling in Ethernet endpoint is not encapsu-
lated in UDP and port configuration is therefore not required.
Remote unit IP Configures the responder IP address when the global opera-
tion mode is IP endpoint and Test method has been config-
ured to either Upstream or Downstream. The responder
global operation mode has to be configured to IP endpoint as
well and the Test mode must be Remotely managed.
Remote unit MAC Configures the responder MAC address when the global
operation mode is Ethernet endpoint and Test method has
been configured to either Upstream or Downstream. The
responder global operation mode has to be configured to
Ethernet endpoint as well and the Test mode must be
Remotely managed.
Remote test protocol
status
This is a read only field that displays information about the
responder from the controlling unit. The different possibilities
are listed below:
• Idle: The controller is not connected to the remote unit.
This is the case when the test has not been started.
• Connected: The controller is connected to the remote unit
and running a test. This status is achieved once the user
starts the test with the help of the RUN key or any other
procedure.
• Agent unreachable: The controller cannot connect to the
remote unit. This situation arises either if there is a com-
munication problem between the controller and the
responder or when the controller / responder units are not
correctly configured.
