User Guide

To configure the test method in your test unit, follow these steps:
1. From the Home panel, go to TEST,
The test configuration panel is displayed.
2. Go to Test mode
3. Configure Te st method to One-way (A > B), Two-way (A > A), Upstream, Down-
stream, Local bidirectional or Remote bidirectional.
Note: The asymmetric test modes (Upstream, Downstream) are available only if
an eSAM or RFC 2544 test has been previously enabled (See section 7.1, See
section 7.2). The Local bidirectional and Remote bidirectional require the
RFC 6349 (See section 7.3).
4. If you have configured either the Upstream or Downstream test modes, configure
Remote unit MAC (in Ethernet endpoint mode) or Remote unit IP (in IP endpoint
mode). If you have configured the Remote bidirectional test method, configure the
Remote unit IP.
Note: A unit configured in Remotely managed mode has to be installed and con-
figured in the remote end before any asymmetric or remote bidirectional test can
run (See section 7.5).
7.5.Using the Responder Function
xGenius can be remotely managed by a compatible test unit in order to run the
RFC 2544 or ITU-T Y.1564 asymmetric tests and the RFC 6349 remote bidirectional
test. The asymmetric tests are far more powerful than the symmetric RFC 2544 and
ITU-T Y.1564 because they enable separated measurement of the upstream and the
downstream. This is important in asymmetric paths, where each transmission direction
has a different bandwidth, latency, etc. On the other hand, the remote bidirectional test
is the only dual-ended test mode for RFC 6349 and it is mandatory to configure this
mode whenever the test must between to geographically different locations.
When configured in responder mode, the unit becomes basically a passive device. All
the instructions about how to run the test are generated by the remote unit and
Connected unit IP This is a read only field that displays the IP address of any
controller connected to a responder.This field makes sense
only when the Test method is configured to Remotely man-
aged and the global operation mode is IP endpoint.
Connected unit MAC This is a read only field that displays the MAC address of any
controller connected to a responder.This field makes sense
only when the Test method is configured to Remotely man-
aged and the global operation mode is Ethernet endpoint.
