order sub-menus. Direct access to menus is possible by pressing the correct des-
tination in the Menu Tree. Only menus are displayed in the tree. No configuration
or result panels are shown in this area.
1.3.5. Predefined Tests
Predefined tests are special shortcuts located in the Home panel that enable xGenius
users to access to common test scenarios without having to configure the unit step by
step. The predefined test shortcuts configure most test parameters and provides quick
access to the (usually few) parameters still to be configured. Specifically, the
predefined test shortcuts do the following tasks:
• Displays an specific panel in the work-area that depends on the predefined test
that has been loaded.
• A variable list of settings is configured in the unit such as operation modes, ports,
interfaces and tests. The user interface, work area and all other complementary
panels are upgraded in accordance with the new settings.
• Loads a list of shortcuts in the bookmarks-list that depends on each predefined
test. The panel displayed on loading the predefined test is the first item in the
bookmarks-list.
Predefined tests have been distributed in four categories: IEEE 1588v2 and
Synchronous Ethernet Verification, Clock Signal Verification, Ethernet / IP Verification,
E1 / T1 Verification. It follows a description of the tests included in each category:
• IEEE 1588v2 and Synchronous Ethernet Verification: ITU-T G.8275.1 Test, ITU-T
G.8275.2 Test, ITU-T G.8265.1 Test, Maser emulation, (G.8265.1), Master emula-
tion (G.8275.1), SyncE Wander analysis, SyncE Wander generation.
• Clock Signal Verification: 1PPS TE, 1PPS to 1PPS TE, 10 MHz TIE.
• Ethernet / IP Verification: RFC2544 (bridged, port A > B), RFC2544 (routed, port A
> B), eSAM (bridged, port A > B), Traffic verification (bridged), Traffic verification
(routed), Ping, Trace-route, TCP throughput (RFC6349).
• E1 / T1 Verification: E1 / T1 Pulse Mask, E1 / T1 BER, G.821, G.826, E1 / T1 Jit-
ter, E1 /T1 Wander, E1 / T1 RTD, E1/T1 OWD,
1.4.Running Tests
Most of the results provided by the test unit are not available until you start a test. This
section provides a high level description of the procedure to follow to configure your
unit, start a test and review the results.
1. Configure the tester to send / receive signals in the right operation mode and
through the right ports using the resources from the CONFIG menu. Connect it to
the network.
2. Configure the specific parameters such as pass / fail objectives, test method or
any other setting required for your test using the TEST menu.
