66..1414 DiscoveryDiscovery
The Discovery application searches for another Network Masters connecting to the
network. It is also able to change the application running in the discovered Network
Master.
The purpose of this application is to switch the application running in the discovered
Network Master for running the RFC 2544, RFC 6349, or SAT (Y.1564) application.
For example, when the test mode is set to End to end network testEnd to end network test in the RFC 2544
application, test can be performed cooperating with opposed side slave equipment by
switching Network Master B application to RFC2544 as shown in figure below.
When the test mode is set to Single ended network testSingle ended network test in the RFC 2544 application,
test can be performed cooperating with opposed side reflecting equipment by
switching Network Master B application to Reflector as shown in figure below.
When In-band control is allowed at another port, the Discovery application cannot be
started.
