delivered to the test unit through an in band signalling channel. When a downstream
test is configured in the remote unit, the responder acts as a traffic generator and the
analysis is carried out in the far end. In the upstream test it happens the opposite: The
responder analyses the traffic from the remote end and reports the result to the
controller through the signalling channel. In bidirectional tests, the responder is at the
same time a traffic generator and a traffic analyser. The correct procedure to configure
xGenius as a passive responder is as follows:
1. From the Home panel, go to CONFIG,
The port setup panel is displayed.
2. Select Mode to enter in the mode selection menu
3. Choose between: Ethernet endpoint or IP endpoint
Note: This is an important decision. Controllers can connect only to responders
configured to the same global operation mode.
Note: Some tests may have more specific requirements. For example the Ethernet
endpoint mode is not allowed by RFC 6349 tests
4. From the Home panel, go to TEST,
The test setup panel is displayed.
5. Go to Test mode
6. Configure Remotely managed. to Yes.
Note: Most functionality is disabled in remotely managed mode. The way to
recover the unit whole compatibility is to disable this mode.
7. Wait for remote connections in Port A. These are signalled in the Connected unit
MAC (Ethernet endpoint mode) or Connected unit IP (IP endpoint mode).
